Re: SKUA328 - 21 March 2017

it departed Yeovil Westlands this Morning 0910 to fuel at RAF Valley.
I assume it took off from Westlands as Yeovilton was closed till 1600

Re: Talavera la Real Air Base (Badajoz) Spain

Hi Kelvin

Like all bases it can vary.

Most likely scenario is 2 ship flight at 9,11,13 and sometime 1500.

I do have a friend who lives nearby that helps a bit where he can!
