I see the three Rafales that arrived earlier, are air force and not marine. Are any more due, also are the E2's still coming. Thanks for any one helping with this.

I don't think any E2s were ever due..

The government website had 8 as participating, still only three have arrived, there was a rumour of a 4th this afternoon but nothing yet.

The falcon 10 that keeps coming could be related, they don't stay long and only drop off a couple of people each time.

Was there a "flying schedule" produced as per the Cobra Warrior ones? Shame the weather looks so dodgy, but may risk a drive over tomorrow or weds!!
Thanks

Just for the record FAF 7163 turned up late afternoon

Another Rafale presumably to make a total of four Rafales

Nothing else is planned to arrive, looks like it's just four for the ex, not 8.

The exercise starts tomorrow, they may fly today.

The Rafales are expected to go Leeming at somepoint.

Bay 14-17 - where the Mirages were parked in March.

Centre of the airfield. Hardest group of bays to see sadly.

I think you can see some (all?) by walking up the A15 towards the runway and walking down the A15 towards the Air Ambulance area but haven't tried myself.
