Quite a low profile visit, but President Biden is due to be in the UK/London very early July before the NATO Summit in Vilnius. He is expected to meet King Charles III & Rishi Sunak among other engagements.

Assuming everything is still going to plan we can expect a flurry of RCH flights into Northolt/Mildenhall/Fairford/Wherever from next week.

"Mini", with the equivalent of a third world country's air force for support.

Stansted is also expected to be busy. Indeed a couple of USAF C-17's are expected there tomorrow lunchtime which may be connected with the visit.

4 CH47,s due Northolt Sunday.

Says the meeting in Vilnius is the 11th…any date when AF1 arrives?

That's a bit more like it

Thanks for the heads up

RCH4127 (10-0215) & RCH4555 (02-1107) heading NE out of Andrews. Most likely connected - possibly UK bound or Lithuania for NATO conference

Both planned for Ramstein

Would that be President Rashi Sunook?

To save reading through the link the NATO Heads of State summit is 11-12 July which would suggest a UK visit on 10 or 11 July

6 Chinooks over Poland heading west. Unusual for a Saturday. Maybe these are heading to the UK?

As far as I am aware there are 5 CH47,S due tomorrow from Germany into EGWU but everything is subject to change.

either

1) Departs the US on the 9th morning and arrives in the UK in the evening, he stays at the Embassy Sunday evening and meets the king on Monday 10th and then either leaves the UK the same day or the Tuesday 11th Morning.

or

2) Departs the US on the evening of the 9th arriving in the UK on the morning of the 10th and goes straight to Windsor. Then either leaves the UK the same day or the Tuesday 11th Morning.

Sleepy Joe does not really like the Brits but has to follow through with the "special relationship"

Hi all,
Quick question. Does anyone know where the helicopters would land at Windsor Castle? TIA
Mike

Hope he remembers we have a King now
