How long was the mission yesterday please?
The morning pair went out at 09:06am and returned 12:10pm.
PM mission was around 3hrs too- any shorter and I’d have missed it!

Assuming that Dark 41 landed about 11:00 as saw the initial approach from the office in Swindon?

Any sign of further activities or Hot-pitting?

86-0140 has landed and is currently hot-pitting up the 27 end.

Engines are also running up the 09 end.

Based off of previous hot pitting times a 12:30 departure seems likely.

Just gone over west of Cheltenham - too much cloud cover but unmistakable noise.

I thought cloud cover was rated using Oktas (8ths), do you mean 7/8? Just being pedantic :P
