Big question - Are these all visible from the Warren? I don't fancy dodging the traffic on the main road!

Parked on Alpha ramp same place as the AV F16's. If that helps.

According to Scramble magazine there was a possibility that another six might arrive tomorrow. Not sure if that will materialise though!

Don't think you can see as yet (you need to make one more post first), but the relevant ALTRV has been posted for tomorrow.

If they keep to the times therein (unlike today), they should be an hour earlier than today.

Saturday 3/10
09:00Z Clean 82 is airborne from Bangor so that is obviously a good sign

( Lakenheath ATIS is already transmitting saying hours of operation from 06:00 local to 17:00 local)

ATIS now saying hours of operation from 06:00 to 22:00 local. ??

Tabor 31-36 should be in by 16:30 local when there is only a 88% chance of rain

If they are on the same ramp as the Avianos then you can't really see them from the Warren, you need to keep walking quite a way then left towards the 06 threshold... by then you are not really on Maids Cross Hill.. more like the farmers field next to 06... I think the farm track just after South Road when heading out of Lakenheath village towards Mildenhall is a much quicker walk... either way it's going to be very wet!!...

Was advised only 6 (the last cell to land) could be seen last night about 7.30 from said farm track

Paul Newbold has just posted on MSF he is there now and can see all 12

he says
All 12 can be seen before you get to the large Bush line near the fence
ou can read a few but they are parked in landing order with last one 248 nearest to you.

I haven’t seen this anywhere recently but could anyone confirm if the field along the A1065 is still out of bounds? Just trying to gauge which spot to go to see the MOs!

They're not on the usual VAS ramp and visible from that field... best follow directions in previous few above posts...
