Just in case this exercise proceeds, some traffic information for prospective attendees coming from the Norfolk/Suffolk areas.

Starting next Monday 28/02/22 the bridge at Sutton Bridge on the A17 will be single carriageway operation only until 01/07/2022 controlled by temporary traffic lights. This is for maintenance and repaint. Long delays could be anticipated.

Thanks

I seem to recall this happened during a previous Cobra warrior

Its just to keep the Norfolk spotters away from Waddington & Coningsby, they do this every time

Will I need vaccination docs

A quick reminder for anyone who makes it through - there's a discount admission offer coming into place at the museum for the forthcoming Cobra Warrior Exercise!

Depends which part of Norfolk. The A1101 via Downham Market and/or Wisbech brings you onto the A17 West of Sutton Bridge.

No but don't stop unless you have to and keep windows closed.

First you have to survive the A1101 , that road has more pot holes and dips in the road to shake most cars to bits .
Besides anyone coming from the Mildenhall area would be better off routing A14 /A1 far quicker than that suicide alley they call the A17

The road between Southery and Feltwell is the worst....

Seen on a few places on Faceache a possible Saudi C-130 due Coningsby tomorrow.

you must have seen my post about A1101 flooding which as now appeared to vanish or been removed for some reason??

Tidied the thread a bit Baz.

Various places are now saying up to 4 C-130s due at Coningsby tomorrow.

First place I saw said 1.... So who knows!

Wind looks straight across the runway at Coningsby tomorrow, slightly favours 25

[baz1]

fair does Mike, depending when the C-130s are due to arrive they may be on the way pretty soon and do a night stop enroute?

(edited to main point) Seen on a few places on Faceache a possible Saudi C-130 due Coningsby tomorrow.

Anyway! Back on Track (Not to include Roads in that? ) Yep! Faceache even said it's night-stopping at Kyiv International Airport (Zhuliany) Airport (also referred to as Boryspil Airport) tonight for fuel & a horse-drawn City-Tour for the Lucky Crew....so I'm fairly sure it'll (they'll?) be at Coningsby tomorrow!
Update...With maybe three more C-130 as post-lockdown the Saudi's need a night away & were jealous of the first crew!
