Hearing that there could be a RAF Falcon 900 in tomorrow, Monday. Probably 3:30 to 4:30pm. Might stop overnight.

[Pesmog]

I believe that the Aussie MRTT that is on the ground departs 13:30 today.

[Pesmog]

I see that the RAF Falcon departed at about 7:30am this morning. RRR1319. Given today's events I was thinking it was going to Belfast, but it headed off towards Scandinavia instead.

[jd4781]

G-ZAHS RRR1319 returning to the UK from Ämari Air Base, Estonia. Northolt is closed today so could be coming back to Stansted.

Edit: Landed Stansted 13:53.

[Pesmog]

I understand that RAF G-ZAHS Falcon 900 leaves for Northolt today at 11:45am.

[Pesmog]

Bush telegraph is saying that there may be something interesting tomorrow. Six USAF Chinooks are expected to route via STN Monday for quick stop and go. Should be between 11am and 1pm. They will likely be visible behind the Ash. Not sure why they are not going via Mildenhall.

The usual caveats apply as nothing is certain.

Are these the ones that were in Ireland?

Looks like it.

[Pesmog]

Have also heard that they are going to Illesheim, Bavaria, in two groups, Easy 20 and Easy 30.

[Pesmog]

The Chinooks are apparently going to try again tomorrow at a revised time of 13:30 and 13:45 if the latest rumour is correct. Not sure what happened today.

All Ch47F US Army arrived between 13.30-13-45

[Kory30]

Do they all have callsigns? For example EASY29 flt would be EASY27/28/29 ?

[SamP]

I think at one point I did hear Easy 27 call, but every other radio transmission was just Easy 29 Flt or Easy 30 Flt

[Pesmog]

Should be a UAE C-130 passing though Thursday between 1:30 and 2:30, it may nightstop.

[Pesmog]

Apparently the UAE C-130 is reg 1215 and is sitting on stand 511. Leaves tomorrow 9am for Egypt.

[Leon]

The UAE Herc is the 1216

UAF1215 Departed Stansted at 09:25L

[Pesmog]

Rumour of another UAE tomorrow (Sun). There is some confusion over timings as I am hearing different times from different sources. However, it should be in 9'ish and out 11'ish. Its a C-17 heading stateside.

[Pesmog]

I should have listened to the mixed rumours about the potential C-17 which is often a warning sign. Apparently it has now scrubbed for Sunday morning, sorry.
