Yes and i think a different Notam would have been posted would it not?

That'll be the BADA meeting which is not at RAF Fairford, unless they arrive in US C-130s :S

The meeting is at DBH which is not part of the base BTW and no aircraft are involved

I'd guess this is more likely to be the arrival of the MC-130's for the exercise...
