Seems strange that no Chinooks have turned up at Northolt, unless I've missed them being reported, so I think either your options b or c, or e, CV-22s from Mildenhall?

Personally, I'm hoping for option b ....

Her Majesty might not have liked the idea of V-22s or CH-47s making a mess of her lawn! Last time it was just a Merlin as support to Windsor.

When president Obama visited Windsor in 2016 it was one USMC MV-22 with the US press pool and two VH-3’s, all landed in Home Park.

They'll certainly be there until they leave! No-one knows for certain what they will do whilst in the UK, other than the VC-25 is going to Heathrow on Sunday.

I'd consider Heathrow then, probably a bit easier to get to!

I wasn't going to bother with Mildenhall as I thought I wouldn't get parked etc but I am so glad I went down to Mildenhall. I arrived just before the C-32 and there were still spaces in the office carpark at the 28 end - big shout out to them as they could easily gate the carpark off out of hours.

My legs are stung to buggery after standing in the fields at the 28 arrival end

Brilliant atmosphere and nice watching them taxi past beck row in the evening light when AF1 and SAM 46 departed. I saw the cavalcade from the exhibition hangar to the terminal area - less than a five minutes drive but there must have been at least 10 vehicles including two massive limousines in just that short hop plus a Mildenhall follow-me vehicle to escort them across the runway.

I understand that the RAAF will be using an A332 for the G7 Newquay visit, A39-007 has been mentioned.

Reportedly two RAF Pumas due at Heathrow today, with the two VH3s from Northolt and two Police choppers on a practice run for Sunday.

With regard to Sunday at LHR….Biden is due to fly in on AF1 and I assume the C-32 SAM46 will turn up also. It has been mentioned that Mrs Biden is due to travel back stateside after their meet with the Queen at Windsor?. Given that SAM46 will probably accompany Biden to Brussels and onward,does anyone know if anything is scheduled to pick up Mrs Biden that afternoon?

She could use the "ESCAPE JET" that's at Brize.
