Re: Giant 8692 Friday.

Re: Giant 8692 Friday.
Obviously getting ready to get rid of some of the old stuff stored.
Re: Giant 8692 Friday.
I'll have a go, 2 C17's tomorrow, Saturday and 8 B52's on 15th..
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!
Re: Giant 8692 Friday.
Does this hint at this being more than just a training deployment with all the ammo they have up there?

Re: Giant 8692 Friday.
Do they not hold inert as well? Having said that, on a lot of the recent deployments have noted more active stuff.
Re: Giant 8692 Friday.
Just to clarify you saw a US registered flatbed lorry and US police? When ammunition was moved from Welford to Fairford in the Balkan crisis it was British registered articulated container lorries with British police escorts. Would have thought it strange to have US police on British roads in this circumstance.
Re: Giant 8692 Friday.
Did the 4 C17s depart Barksdale? If so when do you believe they will be arriving?
