It's a fact that eighty-five percent on this forum are retired.

..I know it's a fact as I invented it:)

PS: It's probably true though.

Both the Mildenhall C17'S off loaded cars and freight... No helicopters.
Both have also left to the east (RS?)

The 437AW C-17 that arrived Tuesday offloaded some SUVs along with a big comms truck with all the ariels/sat comm bump on the top, we got pics of in the Esso garage filling up with fuel. Over 30mins there were these tanking this big Ford F-350

I wonder why they didn't use the 'on base' filling station?
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

GORDO14 turned back to Lincoln and appears to have turned its tracker off.
