Reds airborne from Waddington, climbing and looking like they’re heading for the Lichfield Corridor.

It's a single - third one of the day, as Bluerigger says they will be for simulator visits.

One is making the return trip now, the others will also return to Waddington today.

The Reds route NOTAM to Valley tomorrow has been pulled.

Were there any visiting static aircraft or was it just based aircraft? I was going to attend but problems on the trains meant I got as far as Rhyl and have up and went home

"One Hawk T2 and One Texan they where the only statics"

Hawk T2 ZK035/FK and Texan T1 ZM328/328 plus Isaacs Fury II K3731/G-RODI which was displayed in Hangar 15 along with the various stalls and display stands .
An added bonus was Hawk T1A XX323 which arrived for AMRO .

Thank you for your replies. I was going to go in the hope of some visiting frontline types on static, so glad I didn't bother now.

A pair of Texans landed at Brize 13th, one was ZM331 does anyone know the other one please. Callsign was Winder 01 if that helps.

Been informed it was ZM328
