So what will become of the new Open Skies platforms that Russia had been getting certified? Given the constant cycle of U2 flights , intelligence gathering around Kaliningrad by Swedish / RAF / US platforms and combined with other satellite imagery assets surely the Open Skies has been more politica...

May have just passed Brize? Could hear something going over that hasn't shown on the tracking sites.

You could drive to Fairford and Brize, and leave seeing a single Voyager and may be a single A400M - or you might see a U-2 and four B-52s etc. but unless a MATZ opening NOTAM appears for Fairford in the next 12 hours, no one can tell you what to expect.

Just like the old days of the hobby.

Having a quick look on the Brize website it has an A400 down for training anytime between 11:00 - 15:00 local on Sunday, no training planned for the bank holiday.

Atlas Air 747 Showing active on the ground at Prestwick as N415MC GTI8416 with Fairford as the destination.

Given how it just flew past me it looked like an empty climb out from Brize but soon corrected once I saw it FR24!

The RCH section of the forum is a good place to look..........

Judging by the NOTAM at the top of the thread unless there is a U2 sortie today the airfield will be open for movements until this evening.

Crap I was a sleep wellingborough heard real loud aircraft engines thought to myself that's meaty looked on freedar nothing just got up had tea looked on it again to see 10032 appear b52s in uk 😃😃 To be fair TORE54 was the only one that showed up for me on ADS-B exchange and that was once it had al...

Luckily TORE54 showed up on ADS-B so plenty of notice this time

That was quite a wake up call going over just now :-)

Hi All, I've started to pick up work on a few builds again and am trying to find the best colour to match the RAF Tristars before they left service. From what I can see via a google search BS633 seems to be a close match. Can anybody recommend a supplier of this or is it going to be easier to mix th...

"During the course of this review it has become abundantly clear that it is no longer in America's interests to remain a party to the Open Skies Treaty," one official told Reuters news agency."

So you go ahead with a modernization of one of your aircraft?

Hi All, Not that in the present climate anyone can head down anyway but..... RWY 07/25 CLOSED DUE TO RWY CENTRELINE RESURFACING WORKS NOTAM #: U2044/20 Start Date UTC: 05/15/2020 1800 End Date UTC: 05/17/2020 0600 NOTAM #: U2036/20 Start Date UTC: 05/22/2020 1800 End Date UTC: 05/24/2020 0600 NOTAM ...

Thanks Freeman.

I thought this might be the case as I saw on G-INFO that the airframe had been scrapped.

Thanks for the help.

Morning All, I know that in the current climate it is harder to confirm sightings with the Mk1 eyeball but is anybody able to help out with the above? On a couple of lunchtimes this week while doing some armchair spotting I've noticed 'ETPS88' operating out of Boscombe over the South West showing as...

Hi all have heard work at fairford is underway at a fast pace and have even heard rumors of the construction of a new hangar being started. Does anyone know if this is true? I wouldn't think they would need a new hangar giving the old KC-135 ones are still there. New RCs hangar being built down by ...
