Looks like its going for a clean or new paint job ??

Good thought, thanks. I'll keep an eye out to see if it re-appears either shiny or in RAF camo.......

Looks like the windows and other non-painted areas have been masked ready for a paint job.

Trust me, if it was going for a paint job it would be properly masked

Tend to agree, going for a clean. If it was to be painted it would need to be rubbed down and prepped BEFORE masking up.
Looks like all possible holes are covered to stop water ingress.
First time I’ve seen one of Mildenhall’s CV22 with the ‘wings’ folded too.
Nicely caught

Thanks for the comments.

I also posted this up on the Mildenhall / Lakenheath facebook page and got a definitive response from someone on the other side of the fence. - it's a cleaning job.

Good catch, did note the other new one (0042) was out and about last week.
