Re: Stansted April 2025

Its been a really quiet month. However tomorrow, I believe I can promise a C17 with a reasonable degree of certainty.

Qatar C17 1pm'ish lunchtime tomorrow, hopefully should be A7-MAE. :thumbs:

Re: North Sea Shipping Incident

It looks to be a serious incident. Did the RAF send a Poseidon MRA1 down to assist?

It might also mean that an Oil Spill response 727 is on standby depending upon the characteristics and volume of any spill.

Re: Stansted February 2025.

RAMP RAT above reckons a night stop. I haven't heard anything any different to that. There should be a RAF MRTT 330 in tomorrow 16:30'ish. Edit: Ignore the above. Apparently the MRTT has just changed roles and is coming in as G-YVGM as flight RRR2229 at 18:55. Its prob only staying a couple of hours...

Re: Stansted February 2025.

Romanian C-27j is running late and may not be here until 2:35-2:40. I believe it is ROF130, a different aircraft to the one that came last week.
