Re: AD Closed tomorrow , emergencies only ?

Interpreting Fairford NOTAM's can sometimes be like being on the Krypton Factor . I take it this means [in layman's terms] that the aerodrome is closed today from 0600 to 1800 [i.e. its published normal opening hours I believe ] .However between 0730 and 1630 the aerodrome is available at one hours ...

Apparently (from a reliable source ;) ) it ingested a bird when it arrived and is still awaiting repair before it can go back home.
Its flown several missions since it 'arrived' :S

Re: Movement 22/11

On Mon this week (20th) around 15 personnel turned up at h/s47 and mainly worked around the port rear engine nacelles (port inner I think). I'd say nothing major was done , possibly an inspection . They all left about an hour or so later . Flight deck was accessed but nothing ran .

Re: Tuesday 24-10-2023

I sympathise Exatco , your point about posting ground ops in the airfield section is valid IMHO , but as you say rules is rules . I'd also like to echo your complimentary comments about FC as a great site - well said . Age 76 ;)

Re: Howler 41 - Movements 19/10/2023

If it helps perhaps the 'confusion' has been caused by Black 01 being reported in the Fairford -Spotters Area sub section 3 times this week as Supra suggested but a) only for engine start /taxi clearance not airborne and b) this is not typical and doesn't usually happen . Hope that helps .

Is that h/s 46 and h/s 54 ?
PS. 54 is west of 46.
That's my assumption mate going from XR221's excellent arrivals video & Luxto's eyeballs . https://youtu.be/goj6gX_RqHo?si=HQujaMbZCzQjNzuz
