Three CH-47 expected at Northolt on Tuesday.
Guess these could be the 3 RAF ones currently at Culdrose rather than USAr ones (hope I am wrong)

Correct, a guess ;-)

Our friends from across the pond don't use foreign helicopters to support their President :-)

They act as escort only for officialdom purposes and because they have the local airspace and ATC knowledge.

They also carry the official "home" media party, together with additional security staff.

Any word of them leaving Germany yet? Must be delayed or they’ve gone off the radar.

But Biden needs to get to London for his meetings with the Queen/Boris on Thursday and Friday, so the helicopters will be needed.
They won't be needed at the weekend, the MV-22s are in place for the Cornwall element.

Huge speculation I realize but without the helicopter rehearsal from Northolt it looks as if Biden might be spending the night at Mildenhall and simply fly down in a VC-25 to Cornwall on Thursday morning?

I hope I don't get the men in black kicking my front door down for posting potus on the web!
