Just come back from walking the dog in Badwell Ash. O/head 4 x F16 in trail ,followed by C17 (not certain if this was their support aircraft as it was on a different approach routing) then 3 more F16. Pretty much on time !

They aren't at Lakenheath, they landed at Mildenhall, so they can still leave Monday

Serials were correctly posted in viewtopic.php?f=50&t=135075 - long before they hit this thread or the "Heads Up" one.

Sorry finger trouble

Logged 241.

I wasn't going to post serials as they were already posted elsewhere on here and I am on a smartphone at the fence with my fat fingers, but after last week I thought I had better try.

According to the Monday ALTRV, the "not before" time at ATSIX (60N10W) is 12.23BST.

So no earlier than, say, 11.00BST (give or take a bit). It's only a guess, so be safe and give yourself plenty of time.

Tuesday not known yet.

John's Field was very sparsely populated when the F-16's landed and I could not see any cars in Pollards Lane.
