Hi all.

Does anyone know of the departure time for the KC10 please?

Long drive back to Scotland, thus missing departures, but would hang around if the KC10 is one of the first away.

Thanks.

Is there some kind of departure list? If so, can this be shared here?

Have they called up what runway is in use?

I’m at Townsend Farm and will be packing up soon but holding onto hope that some will come over here. In 2022 the morning departures used 09 until they switched to 27 at lunch.

The Kingfisher? The bright yellow thing I'm staring at right now?

Fascinating.
