Not much help : I did hear Thursday but wondering if I am confusing something else - others are saying Friday

The support should arrive in advance

I will just wait until they arrive as it is a 70 mile drive from home

Are we expecting just the 2 or will they be bringing a spare jet with them?

Team are saying arrive at Waddington 1300z

They also said training at 1545z, which is different to the time being floated - could be the Zulu confusion, or it could be the slot time is 1545z at Cosford.

Sorry to ask again but which Tower frequency is in use - 121.3 ?

From memory I don't think they use the UHF

10:28 Cotam 2029 on the box for runway 20

There we go Cotam on tower 121.3
