Daft question I know; Have any crews been around the WAVE flogging patches (yet)?

[reaper493]

Yes, the Germans have at least once and will be coming back. Understand the Italians will as well. Pretty sure the isrealis won't.

Ah ya never know, they're still enthusiasts at heart (these air force types), they can always trade by proxy....

It’s been put up on Twitter that both German and Italians will be at WAVE at 1pm today with coins and patches.

[Thunder]

It’ll be crews from all RAF Typhoon Sqns will it not?

Does anyone know if there will be aircraft departing on friday 20th (which i understand is the last day of the exercise) or are they more likely to be departing the following week?

Not certain but I've heard it mentioned that the Israelis will be departing on Thursday(19th), the Germans & Italians the following day. Most of the support will be departing on the w/c Mon 23rd. DSTM

As I understand it though, last day of the exercise is Friday

Also worth bearing in mind that in Israel the weekend is Fri and Sat.

[herc15]

OK Thanks Guys

Also worth bearing in mind that in Israel the weekend is Fri and Sat.

Jewish Sabbath is on a Saturday.

'IF' the Israelis do depart on Thursday does anyone know/think they will be flying missions on Wednesday this week?

Not quite correct old bean. It actually starts at sunset on Friday through to sunset on Saturday.

Good afternoon,

Anyone know if the F15's will be flying tomorrow if the rumoured departure of Thursday becomes true?
