Turkish KC-135 just about to come in. 2 Italian Typhoons and 3 Spanish have now landed. Anyone know the location of the Greeks. Took off around 11:30?

Derwent 1-2 was used by the F-35B's, I was looking for the call-sign used by the USAF F-35A's flying at Fairford yesterday and today. Thanks anyway.

The MiGs didn't make it to Leeuwarden, but their flightplan has been on update all day, so they may still be trying. Looking unlikely now though.
