Airfield showing open from 1330 (+1 HR Local presumably). Would this tally with the arrival of the one up at the moment?

Dragon 86 landed some hours ago this AD opening must be for ether another arrival either from the east or west or a departure (suspect a west bound arrival , but only guessing)

PS as we are not subject to BST at present, local time and Zulu/ GMT / UTC time are one and the same ie 1330 is 1330 whichever way you look at it

NOTAM now 1330-1530

When are they due to depart?

Could not get there today for the U2s, which currently are the main interest. But don't forget what else has used the place, rember all the no parking signs.
