Raptors deploy to Lakenheath

[BMrider]

I am working in the Bury St Edmunds area for the next few months. I hope to be able to get up to Lakenheath one evening and, while I may not be able to see them fly, wonder if they are visible from anywhere around the base. Thanks

They're parked up on C ramp which I imagine is hard to see from the outside. They looked fantastic as I drove along aforementioned ramp this morning!

Hi,

Wheres "C Ramp" ? ........ anybody? ..........Thanks

Charlie ramp is the one behind the golf course, best viewed from the warren I should think.

Confirmed that they will be arriving tomorrow- possibility that they will be from Langley for the France flypast.

If you look in the section on the Forum about Lakenheath there is a viewing guide which may help you.

Who/ what /when confirmed this?

I haven't seen any rumours on here about a third batch, just that a similar ALTRV has been lodged for tomorrow.

NOTAM or ALTRV?

[Gary]

Ollie, the NOTAM is the ALTRV.

All ALTRV are NOTAMS but not all NOTAMS are ALTRVs

Fair bit of activity around them at the minute: transit tanks being removed, crews all around them, tools out. No signs of pilots, I'd guess they might go up this afternoon. Purely a guess though. Might want to give the guys outside the fence a heads up if you have friends out there.

[Dan423]

Fuel trucks next to them. Assuming this is the best thread for updates for the guys at the fence?!
