I haven’t heard a thing on 252.875 at all yet
Unless the arrival time is Z so 1400 ?just a thought
Seems awfully quiet today ,still got a KC or two on base I think we have one still at Fairford? (Quite except for the morning launches from B-1 and mission U-2)

Had a '01' call 277.625 off 282.125 at 14.12 at FL260. "Continue present heading" was all he gave but that frequency change usually means IOM area to SWB. Now down to FL150.

Brize circuit is busy-ish so it'll probably track further west

Did anyone hear them being given a Brize squawk when they changed freq to Brize? Couldn't see anything on PP once they stopped 6402
