Qatar Air Force (A7)-MAN arrived on the 27th July and is still in as at 08:15 29th. Possibly support for the rumoured 4 x F15E delivery ex Lakenheath?

Long trailed, and well known about from Local lists, but there are slots in or four Qatar AF F15's tomorrow, they will arrive from Lakenheath and I believe remain until Friday.

Morning all.
Anyone know why the Qatar F15s are gong to Stansted,seems odd for a civil airfield for fighters.
Many thanks.

Customs related.

Elsewhere its being suggested that the initial pilots were Boeing Contractors (Ref the Boeing callsigns used when they left Lakenheath) and that Qatar pilots take over the aircraft at Stansted. The gap between the flights was because said pilots from the first two arrivals had to hot-foot it back up the M11 & A11 to get the seconds batch of F15's. Its a nice rumour, anyone know for sure?
