Re: Unidentified Aircraft Gauge?
Did a bit of googling, but why would an aircraft have a guage to measure radiation? Could it be from a nuclear capable bomber?

I think he just passed overhead Droitwich, if so that’s my first RTB sighting in 2 years

Typical, first clear skies all week and can’t hear him in Droitwich, assuming he took a different route

Re: BTF 22-2 General Discussion thread
Just a quick question for those with knowledge of flight planning and airspace. Zeus51 and 52 today are showing on FR24 as out of Brize, having I assume actually departed Fairford. Is this because the flight plan was issued from Brize? There must be something I don't understand about the relationshi...

Re: NOTAM 16-02-2022
If the wind in Worcestershire is anything to go by this will be a challenging arrival!

Re: Notam 2/02/22

Re: Notam 2/02/22
Zero G, does the standard return track bring it east or west of the Severn over Worcester? I'm trying to get a visual on return but no joy after quite some time of trying.
