Movements 20/10/21

Post by Rockstar » Wed Oct 20, 2021 9:08 am

This may become a non movement thread as I am hearing rumours today may be a press day so possibly no flying?

103 has been towed to the north side by the B2 hangars, 110 is viewable by the crash gate at Dunfield, 136 still parked and viewable from crash gate at Marston Mersey and 140 still on pan midpoint between there and Dunfield and viewable from both locations.

There is some activity around one of them and it sounds like the APU is running but they might just be doing maintenance.

I think he has landed the Chinook as he’s just confirmed engine shut down (background noise sounded like a Chinook)
