Exercise Indradhanush - build up and rumour thread

[Blue Diamond]

Went up today but as of 14:20 local they had not flown.
Does anyone have info on what the ETD is on Monday?

All 4 Su-30's flew late afternoon.

Always the way. It all happens soon after you leave.

Hi Guys,

Just a question from the Netherlands. I'm thinking of coming over to see the departure of the Indians next Monday.
I know there is off course not much known yet for their departures, but will there anyway be some activity due to Bank Holiday???

Thanks in advance.

No bank holidays in the UK until 31 August JK, should be normal activity

Sadly, they will most have left by Monday, it could be a wasted journey.

Is this in fact the case, as other forums are stating that the Indians depart on Monday the 3rd of August plus transport?

Therefore

Just a question from the Netherlands. I'm thinking of coming over to see the departure of the Indians next Monday

would not be a wasted journey.

Many pages on this forum have given departure date as the 3rd, but suppose that's not proof of anything

Even if it is the 3rd, I have never seen any indication of an approximate time. I guess somebody must have some idea?

Does the last line of this recent post give any indication, or add to confusion/lack of knowledge?

Cack.

Sod's Law the only day I can get there is Thursday. Likelihood of them flying the day before the long journey home?

[youth]

No chance: (

[reaper493]

Someone else said thursday was the day for flying RAF personnel further up the thread, so who knows?

[Freeman Lowell]

...and you'd imagine that there are more pilots than aircraft. So the pilots that fly the aircraft home on Friday (if that is the day) wouldn't have to be the pilots that do the familiarisation flights (if there are any) on Thursday
Freeman

[Dell]

so, do we expect the familiarisation flights to go ahead tomorrow? or dya think it'll be a no fly day? i was planning on riding over from derbyshire tomorrow, but not much point if the su's are not gonna be flying

[youth]

Not flown today as yet!

[Kenny]

I'd like to know if they're flying tomorrow too. I had to go 30 minutes before they flew on Monday and I really want to see them moving.
