With two tankers there must be at least three? Thought 2 would just use one.

Just the one Buff crossing, but took a lot of fuel from the 2 tankers, so maybe heading further a field

Well if one has just departed, there is another circling Tewkesbury for most if the last hour, 60002, marked 2BW with green stripe....

Don't quite think so. MYTEE51 is still circling, burning off fuel before it can land.

I certainly had information suggestion that the B52s were due to arrive next week. Given the fact today's B52 is burning a ton of gas before landing suggests they may be diverting in rather than a scheduled arrival?

I caught something on the radio earlier around 7:00 local and Mytie 51 mentioned a fuel state issue, apart from that I had to get on & do other things.

Oh no it isn't.......

There's no b-52 in the overhead either. Just a figment of imagination....

Sorry, I thought I'd just join in with all the false info and assumptions.

Just heard over Malvern, low but in the cloud. Sounded like B52 to me.
