Thanks for your reply - I'm on the waiting list for a hip replacement, so unable to walk very far (30 to 50 ft if I can stand the pain!), so would welcome advice as to best place to view and/or photograph it.

Went past early evening today (Sunday), but could not find B-1B 86-0125. Photographed the other three, but could not locate '125 - any ideas?
Many thanks, TM74

0825 UK time. Dragon 01 starting. Local routine.

Remember how to adjust clocks between GMT and BST - if not, try the well-known (?) saying "Spring forward, Fall (USA-speak for Autumn) back". So add 1 hour to GMT to update to BST at the right date in the spring, subtract 1 hour from BST to return to GMT at the right date in the autumn.

Both RF-101Cs ex 66 TRW RAF Upper Heyford - photographed them many times there and, at least twice several years later, in the USA at Gila Bend. Happy memories!

Many thanks for the info. Apparently it departed today (Thu 30/03/2023), but anyone get a call-sign for it?

First post doesn't say where it was going, and radio call-sign not reported so possibly not back to the USA. Anyone got the call-sign for the departure?
