Given those times it looks like the usual U-2 mission will be a bit later today.

Mission fit U2 was outside as of 8:00

Not great weather here in Swindon, very windy and quite rainy.

Hope that is of interest, or maybe not! Cheers, TM74

It looks like the wind has put the U-2 off today. The latest observation show's 25023G34KT.

[nitro999]

Yes maybe. At least the wind is pretty much down the runway though!

As an aside, when I drove past first thing today the one with the span/pod on top was outside the hangar. Then when I drove back past again later that one had been put away and one of the non-span/ pod ones was outside instead. Would anyone know which the second one was, please?

[twinstar]

68-10337 was the aircraft without pods, The one with span pods 80-1071 was in the hangar.

Just a reminder 80-1085 should also still be present, likely hangared.

That’s the one I was hoping to see today. Alas. Thanks all.

My thoughts as well. I assume that's what it was, as the flight plan disappeared mid morning.

QID173 KC35 59-1513 looks to be on approach R27

If it's not, it may have gone Sunday, as I heard 1 call of what sounded like Dragon 86 about 11:30. I was away from the radio with my hands full, so I may have misheard. I did check later, but there was no Notam so I ignored it.

Its still here. Might be broken or may be having a `phase` inspection here rather than back home - who knows?
