B-52 Divert 14th September

[SamP]

A pair of Minot B-52s are diverting into Fairford, should be on the deck around 11:30 going by estimates of their hold time required for fuel burn.

They tracked across the south from the channel on Mode A sqwk 6441 and 6442 . Presently out in the SW approaches .
Once they have burned off the fuel they should pop up again , possibly on the same sqwks as they head for Fairford.

Be interested to see which way they depart after fuelling up.

Word has it the French would not let then fly over their air space.
