Anyone know about departures on Friday. I may have the day off and fancy a trip down if there's possibly departures and transports happening.

Thanks

You won't see any Gripens depart on Friday unless there is a straggler or two left over from today.

No worries. Most people were saying Friday. I'll keep an eye out on here and Facebook and make a decision in a bit.

A helpful chap from the airfield management team has just popped over to the crash gate at the south end to advise that the Swedes have returned home today
