Wadd's runway should be finished several months before July even with the current projected date. Briefing delivered today apparently claimed 4 x Indian EF2000s due at CBY for a 4-night stay. Someone's going to be disappointed when he gets bolognese instead of balti for lunch

[Vulcanone]

It's all a load of Wind.....er Rafale

Geddit....

4x Indian Typhoon should be interesting considering they have just committed to buying Rafale!

And what do the Italians use as a callsign?... India!

[rh226]

Sometimes, Chris, they use "India" followed by the last four digits of their serial. Certainly represented as such on PP and, I believe (from various reports), on R/T.

ALPHA MIKE INDIA ****

[Undertaker]

Actually the R/T callsign is IAM [India Alpha Mike] followed by usually three numbers

All four on the line as i passed at 6.30ish look to be kept there swell, nearest the bob hangar opposite raf line

[slogen51]

Thanks for that

I had planned to head up to Leeming on Sunday evening to it would be a mega bonus if the Italians are outside at fightertown.

4 EF2000 !! wow I noticed two serials and I need both of them.

(I remember 4 turned up last June when I was out of the country - is it a good will visit/jolly?)

[eagle driver]

From various posts on MSF it would appear that the Italian typhoon,s have been left outside

[slogen51]

Hi thanks for the heads up.

All four Italians are outside as at 10a.m Sunday morning.

Cheers
Mike.

Any update on departure time tomorrow. Understand NOTAM in order so late start

[Rubberneck]

they were due to depart around 1100bst today Mon 20/05/14

I think IAM0409 flight of 2 got away but IAM0410 is delayed until 1600bst

I guess MM7294/4.52 is still ill after its aborted take off on Friday.

[fireman12]

I hear the Indians are delayed for a week , new arrival 17/7. lets hope its right.

[RobertoCFC05]

I saw a thread some time ago with a mention of a deployment to the UK of Indian AF 76/78's and Flankers, has anyone else heard about this ? any truth in it ? and if so would they be based at Waddington again.

Many thanks

[romeo bravo]

If Waddington, won't be for a while as the runway is in peices!!

[RobertoCFC05]

Yes I should have thought about that before posting the question, however I have seen posts, if memory serves towards the begining of the year and this week, maybe if it is true they will deploy elsewhere.

Here's hoping
