Mirage 2000D

[Chris Taylor]

Thanks - much appreciated

Do we know where they are parked ?

[reaper493]

Bays 14-17 in the middle of the base, where the Indians parked in March last year.

But they are almost certainly hangar'd.

The spare was put away soon after the pair departed to Cosford yesterday.

So unlikely to use the taxi way close to the road for departure to Cosford then

I’m assume the road you mention is the A15 which passes the WAVE & Fire Training area?

If that is the case, and runway 20 is in use they would use that taxiway.

If however RW02 is in use they would turn left from the RUBBs and not pass close to the road. They may use that taxiway on their return if 02 is in use, depends really if they opt to roll to the end.

As FF mentioned, the RUBB hangar they are in is on the bays they are parked on, the 2nd RUBB is down the southern end on bays 22-25. They'll use delta taxy way regardless of which runway is in use, they did roll to to the end both times yesterday.

It looks like a cross wind tomorrow, that favours 20.

They’ve rolled to the end both times they’ve landed if that helps anyone, can’t see them changing it up

Slot time for today is currently 1445 at Cosford.

When are they (CD) due to return to France, is it worth a run out in the morning to catch them departing?

[Pedrogadon]

Any idea of the two showing at cosford please

Presumably in between the A400, which is due late morning and due out early Afternoon.

Wonder if they will go straight home or do some sightseeing in Wales

FRBAR showing for Monday 1120/1310L (but they changed serial of the previous one at least once before it actually arrived)

Thanks Mike Actually, I've got something else on today, so unable to make it. Anyway I've lost my appetite after learning about the fun had at Mildenhall yesterday (b*gger!! )

628 & 638 departed and came back for a fly past.

[65thAgressor]

Any news on the third one leaving ?

[flasheart]

Possibly doing orbits at low level to the north east of Exeter!
