Hi Mike I went on Wednesday last week Indians were ready to taxi at 10oclock,followed by the Finns then the Belgians.think they were out for just over an hour.
Re: Cobra warrior departure times
Only CW visitors here are Saudi Typhoons, the main visiting aircraft action is all happening over at Waddington really.
Last couple of weeks has been initial departures around 0900 onwards, usually a flurry of returns around lunchtime with further departures after lunch.
The based Typhoons are usually pretty steady, you might see a practice display some days as the 2023 routine is being worked up. There’s also the potential for BBMF movements as well of course, and the occasional visitors.

Re: Cobra warrior departure times
Thinking of going over on weds the wind is from the South west. Would this mean they would taking off from runway 7?

No they'd take off into wind so runway 25 most likely if SW wind.

I saw photos on Facebook the Saudi Typhoons are visible from outside. They have been moved to the other side.

Hi Hornet69
Thanks for the info... Is that to the 29sqn main ramp where the sun sheds are?
Will they still be there tomorrow... might just be in the area mid morning.
