They arrived hours ago! :- viewtopic.php?f=8&t=216658&p=1386465#p1386465

I didnt know about that thread . Sorry ‍

Are they here for an exercise/deployment or are they in transit (Red Flag maybe?)?

They were rumoured to be taking part in Cobra Warrior (cancelled) Suppose they are still using their hotel booking and range time.

Does anyone know where they parked? Cheers

I heard some at least taxy to Charlie ramp

Might be connected in some ways

Are they visible or hidden in the depths of the airfield. Looking at 600mile round trip tomorrow for these and the Qatari eagles

I walked the wire this morning but couldn’t see any sign of them, they usually park on Charlie ramp.

I’m going back again tomorrow morning for another look.

I read off the following from the A1065 this afternoon:
800 011 102 521 541 413 057 444.

These can be seen through the trees across the golf course.

After a lot of time and effort all 14 can be read off through the trees from the main road, they are parked in landing order.

Regards

Cheers John I'll be doing an overnight tip for a sunrise wonder

15.00/16.00 Sat 05-March-2022
On parking in that little pull in on the A1065 and walking towards the main gate 4 could be seen and 3 read off.
Heading the other way On the bend over looking the golf course saw the others through the trees.
Sure we saw all frames but only read 12.

In case anyone doesn't fancy the A1065 walk, most of these can be seen from Maids Cross Hill. The order is as above when viewed from there i.e. left to right. I didn't try too hard to see if the final 3 (046, 443, 800) came into view as you move left across the hill as I didn't need them. Hope it helps someone.

Does anyone know how long they are here for? I would quite like to try and get to see them on Donna nook bombing range if they are using it as frequently as they have the last couple of days, I have the last week of March off work but feel they may have gone by then so wondered if I need to book another day off work maybe next week?

I'm not sure if anyone knows for sure but I'm hoping based on previous deployments they will probably go back towards the end of the month.
