Very Late News that B2's have arrived at Fairford. By someone called Steve King trying to make himself famous,

What's it about ?

I don't want to be click bate to the daily mail web site!

It's a poorly written MSN article and not the Daily Fail, it starts off with :-

Plane spotters received an unexpected surprise when a B2B stealth bomber came into land at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire.

The nuclear-capable $2.1bn aircraft was involved in a training mission over Iceland when it returned to the RAF base shortly before nightfall.

Dozens of planespotters gathered around the airbase's perimeter fence waiting for the stealth bomber's return.

Steve King, who was among the crowd, said: 'It was quite a sight, as they are a unique and weird UFO-type looking planes.

'I thought I’d take a different perspective, including some of the crowd looking up at it.'

Mr King, 37, from Swindon, Wiltshire, added: 'I’d say roughly it was about 50ft above me.

'Living fairly local to the air base I am a regular visitor when these exercises take place.'

Three of the B2 bombers - which cost $135,000-an-hour to operate - have been involved a a series of NATO training missings.

The planes, which use the callsigns DEATH 1, DEATH 2 and DEATH 3 are temporarily based at RAF Fairford as part of a series of NATO training exercises. The aircraft touched down in Gloucestershire on August 27

Sensationalist beginning then shoots itself down by reporting the exercise in detail!

I love this bit :- "which cost $135,000-an-hour to operate - have been involved a a series of NATO training missings".

What ? No need for that.

Just saying until FC posted the links above I would not have seen the article.

Actually there is a similar set of pictures in the Sun by Mr King and the article is quite well informed

Edit - perhaps Christine was named in his honour

Of course we never see errors on FC do we! Believe it goes by the phrase "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"

[slogen51]

That sounds like another book by Stephen King

Glass Houses or Shouldn't throw stones... Best sellers in the making!
