Ah, that makes sense, thought for a while something was amiss possible diversion or something.

QUID499 60-0344 over the Moray Firth and QUID498 63-7999 over County Durham both heading North at 0026L, anyone able to confirm that's six KC135's airborne?

Anyone able to tie up MYTEE21/22/23 to each a/c last night, or is it a safe bet that they followed numerical order this morning ie: 21 became 24, 22 became 25 and 23 became 26?
