Stansted at 16:37 then Regents park at 17:10 - that doesn't leave much, if any time on the ground at Stansted?

(I see from Eagle driver and the SMAS site that today's C-17 at Northolt is dropping off another VH-60 - hope they both make the practice to Stansted)
It will be dark by the time they approach Stansted, so light bulb spotting :ninja:

Oops I need both VH-60 , might be a morning at Heathrow before heading back up to Northolt!

(163259 was the machine that disappeared up north [ I don't mean that as a perjorative :) ] the last time they came over)

Could some kind person confirm if the times for the practice are Local, or should I add / Subtract an hour ?

Many Thanks

163264 was over as long ago as July 1990, the first time VH-60's were used if I remember correctly. Noted at Heathrow on 02/07 of that month.

Just been posted on the SMAS site:

STANSTED
2 C5’s are expected late morning on a three hour turn with equipment for Trumps visit. I understand one will deposition to FFD but I don’t have information on the other.

I'm guessing because, as far as I'm aware(correct me if I'm wrong) there is no Stansted page, and the info is regarding the "Trump visit" as per your original header!

Info is info, and we are all grateful for it. :thumb:
