I heard QID 51 was going to refuel RAIDER 10, mentioned its a P-8, and Howler was heading to the D613's

Thanks....Howler seemed to switch to a consecutive Mode A sqwk to QID , but lost the former up the east coast around the 613 area so I suspect you are correct.

Just saw 2x B1 over South Manchester at 11:20, appeared to be heading north-west.
Is this Howler flight, don't know the frequencies and where they relate to!
