ZB125/RAFO163/OM003 hex code 70C0D1 plus at least 1 more dep warton at 1417L.
Last time I checked they were still in the cruise at FL270 over Italy hsving passed over southern outskirts of Rome at 1652BST. Carrying u/w tanks plus centreline combined conformal tank/ferry pod.
Looks like they are now in descent for Bari end of 1st leg of approx 3 hrs.

I have been told by a reliable source 'in the know' that the second jet was ZB124/RAFO162/OM002.

Yes it was OM2. Seen on its ferry shakedown flt on 29/6 with OM3 noted on ferry shakedown 4/7.
OM1 did a ferry shakedown on 18/7 (WTN09+1) so is the most recent one up in 3 tank config.

Please see my jpegs on UK Serials website...
