While I wouldn't go as far as to say "that's it for today" its certainly not looking good! Another consideration to possibly factor in is that its Thanksgiving Day tomorrow and they may have a shorter working day so people can start the holiday early.

I looks like it's back up 09:45-11-30 15:00-17:00

That's my Thanksgiving Day theory gone up in smoke!

Tower open runway 27 in use

[Yammer]

could be FRENCH NAVY 050

[Spitfire88]

Something french cleared for the option 27

[Yammer]

he mentioned a touch and go - but who knows

[Spitfire88]

Looked like a french navy falcon

[city42]

This is a strange one for Fairford

[Spitfire88]

Notam changed again now 13:00-17:00

[graham luxton]

Yep, French Navy Falcon serial 32 - did 1 ILS overshoot at 0938 then off to Bremen. Tower had to open up in a hurry to accommodate it! When word gets around that Fairford is open then this sort of thing is likely to happen more often.
