Same refueling as the other mission in AARA 10W so it's most likely a mission to the Middle East or Africa

LAGR91 setting-up in ARA10 West at 25,000 ft @ 02:50 GMT. Not really sure why as Howler 11 is presumably long gone eastward?

Tracking shows Howler 11 departed east along the southern edge of UK airspace , leaving [airspace] around 0330 , didnt see anything from Howler 12.

12 left earlier going west I believe , just looking for tracking confirmation.

That'll explain the lack of tracking in that case.
Is 12 still on the ground then ?

Is Lagr92 likely to be connected to the returning B1? It's approaching Crete (heading east away from UK) @17:00 UK time but I'd have expected the B1 to be much closer to the UK if it was coming back directly.
