On ADSB, SUI643 T-358 and SUI821 T-368 EC35's currently mid Channel, looks like feet dry will be around the Lydd area.

T-366 SUI732 is also currently crossing further to the East and heading for Dover

So that makes at least 4 of them, presumably in 2 groups of 2

What is it they’re over here for?

They were due into Manchester on Thursday 19th, presumably on their way home from whatever it is they are doing?

09:00BST - One at least is showing a Southend squawk code (presumably for danger area co-ordination).

Does anyone know the purpose of the visit or whether it is a detachment for a while?
