Thanks Benno, new tyres on order soon

City42 - a U2 is out, but whether it goes up today is another matter. The one on Weds had a fuel truck in front which is always a good sign.

""Think they our ( are ) going for good""


What leads you to this conclusion ?

[MRTT]

Think they our going for good

Any reason to believe this or speculation... again?

Shows how long the U-2 has been in service! No Vulcans or Lightnings (EE) unfortunately.

Just got told they were of west bound

[Droptank]

Dragon 01 Departed Fairford to Valley and returning to Fairford presently (1048), requested R27 full stop.

He DID go a little bit West I guess but now home sweet home....

Just gone over Chelt I think- brief glimpse through Clouds

[Yammer]

Did he get to Valley ? I got the impression he turned back before.

[Droptank]

He may well have turned back before approaching Valley but he got close!

I told my contact on base he was approaching and he commented that the weather was awful and he wouldn't be able to see him anyway!

[Yammer]

Did you hear him talk to Valley ? - I only heard him in comms with Swanwick

[Spitfire88]

This is a long term deployment to fairford ( years ) they are going nowhere, they may swop airframes over from time to time but the presence will remain.

Believe the BUFFs also have a similar mission. As USAFE keep discussing rotations and increasing/decreasing numbers of aircraft.

It does seem likely

OK thank you
