Hi John,

Your two missing '135s by the tower were 59-1461 and 63-8885. One other CV-22 was 08-0050.

Cheers,

Bob

0050 & 0051 were flying together in the local area late afternoon as Knife 71/72 if that helps
0063 was earlier repoted as being at Paris for the show but not sure when it arrived back

[Off Airways]

Thanks for the update guys ...

Certainly 0051/Knife 71 was flying in the local area and bashed the circuit for best part of an hour (1630-1730). Nothing seen with regards to 0050 so it must have been back on the ground before 1530.

Hi

In the first post on the subject you refer to 2 x F35's, is this relating to an earlier date, or are there F35s there now?

The two F-35s that were at Paris are at Lakenheath now. They should be leaving about 09.00BST tomorrow morning (give or take a bit) - assuming their KC-10 is fixed.
