Currently 4 x c17's sat on the deck at FFD south side very close to the road with generators running on all four and ramps down waiting to be loaded, whole base lit up with taxi way lights on all over and stealth hangar open with helos on show.
As a resident of Fairford my whole life it's fantastic to see Fairford so active I could of sat there all night and watched!

Any idea what's just come out of fairford.
Could hear it overhead in Swindon but no eyeball.
Sounds like the ospreys. But I assumed they would be heading back across the pond

Hi all
Just to say
Thankyou very very much for the Summit Moves thread very very helpful
Been great week here at FFD so thanks very very much
You guys are fantastic
Kept me informed late last night whilst I was watching in my back garden at 11-15 whilst waiting for the two kc130s to return and they did so thanks
Been great having something which I never thought I would likely see this year or ever at Fairford
All the best as always

Not sure whether you mean 9.30pm on Friday or 9.30am today (Sunday). If the latter, then only two were there (06-6165 and 04-4131). Later in the morning, 04-4134 landed at about 11:20, and '131and '165 T/O at about 11:30. '134 departed during the afternoon.
