For the last time, can we keep this on topic please.

If Oscar doesn't want to give his source then he doesn't have to. No need to resort to petty name calling

I note both tankers have moved to Sunday departure from Mildenhall.

PS we all need to be grateful of the info we get and respect people's sources.

Thanks Oscar

Does this delay affect just the first wave, or both? Is anything due before darkness falls?

Guys please don't listen to some people I and others really do appreciate the updates, I'm not able to get out and about spotting so I enjoy reading the movement updates, again please don't listen to small minded people.

It's a real shame that one person is able to so quickly destroy an information source. It's not our god given right to be told the minutia of every aircraft movement, and we should be - and are - continually grateful to those who are willing to share information.

I know it can be annoying sometimes to be told an update which may raise more questions than it answers - but conversely would you rather be told nothing at all?

Thanks to all who have kept a sane head - much appreciated :)
