Engine runs on a remote parking spot maybe?

[Skywatcher]

Can confirm Graham it sounds like engine runs at 14:19
Nothing on the radio at the moment

Where abouts is spot 54?
Parked up against the fence or more in the middle?
Is it clearly visable from that dead end road?

[Mig29]

It’s at 09 end and is visible from Marston Meysey end.

Other than yesterday, have there been any signs of work/inspection since its arrival last week? It seems strange (to me at least) that the USAF don't seem in any hurry to get it back Stateside (they didn't seem in much of a hurry last year either to get the remaining deployment Bone home).

Thanks Max, the problem seemed to be with the starboard inner engine.

People appeared to be working on it on Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks for the update Luxto, much appreciated.
