I haven't seen the whole review yet but I'm fearful that something might have to be sacrificed to pay for all of the drones, cyber warfare and space programmes. I hope I'm wrong!! This will be exactly true. Yes there is a huge increase in spending. But over 4years. Not a permanent increase. Plus no...

""330 degrees, 360 degrees on a compass with North being 0, East being 90, South being 180, West being 270. So he’s more or less heading North.""


Comms I hear having them going North on a Heading of 360, not on a Heading of zero.

360 and 0 are the same thing. No need to be so pedantic

Would they not do the same as the RAF done from Cyprus and send them over on a space available basis with the proviso that if anything went wrong your car was on the ramp and it was first off if it had to lose weight.But they probably never had to leave the ballast in the boot for the movers/crew. ...

Vulcan, not sure on whether any equipment stayed from January. So can't really comment on that But the ample strike 'poster info' did show buffs but didn't specify they were being based out of the UK. They could possibly be doing constant GPM this year or even operating from an already based locatio...

That's Cypriot local time so remove 2 hours for us

My sources say a AN124 will be in at 1630L into brize

Further to this Athens are reporting a 24 hour delay at their location, further suggests a 1700L arrival at Brize too.

Edit: my bad just noticed this link was posted earlier and does not fully reflect my presumptions

I would say if it was a delay it's probably a straight 24 hours. Meaning a 1700L arrival today.

So, there is some activity (a car going to and from the KC hangar) but otherwise quiet! I'm guessing the NOTAM is still up? Wind is nice and calm etc so will wait and see. Does anyone know if they prepped them indoors yesterday and then towed out? They were prepped outside, well 74 was anyway, befo...

2nd (-75) being towed back into the 135 hangar and NOTAM has been removed. Maybe try again tomorrow then.

Second one out being prepped now

Down there now. All closed up hangar wise and nothing seen outside. However runway lights are on and birdscarer is out.

Driving down there now so will hopefully give you an estimate soon stroudy

That's the first one gone at 06.47 not sure of tail as was seen (and heard) from Highworth. Heading down hopefully for the second after I drop the missus off at work.

Routine charter flight.

he will only be letting them know whats on board so they can call the appropriate Movement and ground support

Great photos

But can i just say. if all these air ambulances and fire and rescue birds are coming to Fairford.

Who is covering their sectors if air support or aeromed is called??

Did anyone else notice that the QUID was trailing the hose?
hopefully it didn't catch the runway on an approach.

something to do with this possibly. or just wishful thinking...
