Going on the NOTAM they've posted, it looks like they're planning on parking them up by the Western loop tonight as with the last ORI.

There were at least three parked up the Western end when I left Fairford at around 6 PM.

I don't suppose anyone knows which MC130 departed about 1040 please?
I was on a big cycle ride and managed to see this.

They'll be parked at the western end, near Martson Meysey, but will probably be parked on one of the aprons hidden behind the trees.

This seems to just be a "warm up" for the real exercise which takes place later in April, the information posted seems to say they'll be here until the 7th.

Cheers,
Mike
