Along with the Roswell UFO and the Vulcan... :lol: (Delighted if it's true though).

BTW, the KC390 is back on the deck at Farnboro.

Ladies and gents, I've handed in a reel of FRIAT vouchers for movements sheets and programme to a member of staff in Park & View west. There was a strong gust of wind earlier (not the French M2000s this morning!) and they landed in front of us. If you've lost yours, please ask at the green entry tent

Thank you very much; my friend Paul has just been reunited with them after I saw your post. He lost them when we were blasted by the E-6 earlier.

Atlantique departed 17:00, apparently recalled to France for ops

UAV holding north of Cirencester which is frustrating as we have had a 30 min gap here.

Who said that it was recalled for ops?

It's possibly just gone back home for a couple of days after it's display was validated, and might just return with a different aircraft tomorrow or Friday.
