Re: Italian Navy Avanti 20/11
This was joined later by a French Navy Falcon 10 [185] which arrived at 14.49 and an Italian Air Force Falcon 900 [MM62210] which arrived at 16.46.
Another unrelated movement was A400M [ZM411] which arrived from Brize Norton at 14.00.

Biden "mini" state visit
Quite a low profile visit, but President Biden is due to be in the UK/London very early July before the NATO Summit in Vilnius. He is expected to meet King Charles III & Rishi Sunak among other engagements. Assuming everything is still going to plan we can expect a flurry of RCH flights into Northol...

Think the Typhoon formation could be a C II R
Similar to the 27x Hawks which did an E II R for the Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

Flypast for the King's Coronation
There will indeed be a flypast over London on coronation day (Saturday May 6th). So far, the BBMF have confirmed with 4 fighters and the Lancaster which will be making its earlier season premiere. I'm also led to believe there could be a significant Typhoon element but that is not confirmed as of ye...

Re: Car parking and viewing at Waddington.
I've parked in Harmston during last years CW with no issues, from memory there was less than a handful of spotters vehicles in the village on the arrivals day.

Re: Cobra Warrior Take Two 2022.
Worth pointing out, current weather forecast points to RW02 being in use on the posted arrival dates (30th/31st) of the Italian Typhoons & German Tornados.

Re: USAF C-17A flights into Brize
From what I can see on Radarbox24, it seems all bar one of them have visited Kirtland AFB/Albequerque a day or two before arriving at Brize. RCH flights do make appearances at Brize every so often but there has been at least six(?) in the space of the last week which to my knowledge, is a little mor...

An Atlas 767 is due into Minot from Biggs later today (as per flight aware). May be the same one due into Fairford from Pease on Tuesday*.
Currently pointing to Minot B52s again.

Re: USAFE Won’t Add Extra F-35 Sq But Will Get Rotation of F-22s
Murmurs of the F-22 going via Prestwick instead now. Any truth to this? Doubt it, F-22s have far more intensive security requirements compared to other assets in their inventory (F-18s, A-10s etc). Having a decent amount of US Security Forces on station would be more favourable. Somewhere a bit lik...
