Don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't turn up.

Ok Mike no problem will do! Cheers for the Heads Up. Unfortunately Santa never got my memo in time.

Should have gone to Specsavers! Sorry couldn't resist. Hope you get to see the C-17.

There's also an A400M due at 21.30, the C-17 should be doing 4 approaches..............................apparently!

A.400 right on my bedtime, oh well could be tempted to stay up a little longer.

It was me who posted the info on FB, so you can shoot me if it doesn't turn up, I don't care

Well Chris, there's no activity at Brize at present, so I presume the C-17 has cancelled !

Unknown74, best go to bed now and have an early night.

Thanks Mike will do. Won’t stay up for the A.400 saw one 3 times Yesterday so missing one won’t hurt.

Posted: **Tue Jan 12, 2021 9:22 pm**

Apparently A400 has also cancelled

Seems to be at Prestwick instead by the looks of it?

C-17 12/01
