The chances of anything flying today or tomorrow are probably near zero.

What makes you say this may I ask? Wx forecast?

Notam has now been removed

NOTAM up for 0600z-1000z. Uncertain right now if this is B1 related.

At the moment they're doing nothing. GPU was towed away about an hour ago and there is zero activity around them. No NOTAM. However runway lights do appear to be on currently so I don't know if it's worth sticking out for the time being.

140 also running down the Marston Meysey end

Does anybody know if the German P3 and C160 are still due in?

No worries. I am hoping that the ALTRV is just the B2 and fighters previously mentioned as I can only practically get to the Cotswolds on Tuesday.

Ahh that's a bummer, as I'm working nights in Exeter until Monday morning. I was hopeful so looked at accommodation in the area to prevent an overnight drive to FFD for Tuesday.
I really appreciate your reply, will see what transpires. Thank you.

I'm sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I cannot seem to find the information.
I'm considering going up to FFD on Tuesday, my understanding is that the exercise is until 24th June. Are the B1s likely to still be there bearing in mind Monday's ALTRV?
