Thanks nitro999 on the loop then?

SW dispersals as usual but both on the pans that abut the north side of the southern parallel taxiway (bravo I think) , so between that taxiway & the runway .

Haven't been to Fairford yet but, from the excellent description above, sounds like h/s 46 and h/s 54 - but take that with a pinch of salt for the moment . . . !

The 2 pans they parked on during the deployment in 2018. Its pans around the grass right next to the runway. I can't describe it better than that

[sdad]

From MM gate, they are to the right. From the field between 55-59 and 46-54, they are ahead but visible through the right hand fence. Best view is actually from Dunfield gate.

110 is on spot 46 and 140 on spot 54.

It's nice to see one aircraft from the 9th BS "Bats" and one from the 345 BS "Desperados"Air Force Reserve Command. Can anyone confirm which aircraft was REMUS01 and which was REMUS02?

The bombers were escorted into the theater by UK fighters as they ascended into RAF Fairford.

For anyone interested the tankers once again returned back into Pease and not there home base so keep an eye out for another AR20NE NOTAM tonight potentially.

Not following the discussion but I don't see it mentioned above. HYPNO01 B1 may be enroute from KDYS ETA 0955Z EGVA. Known already? If it is airborne then it's due over DOGAL BEXET in about 1 hr. I can't confirm it's airborne so don't take this as fact - needs an eye peeled.

[thevulcan]

HYPNO01 and 02 Being tracked in here.

No AR20 posted for tomorrow morning.

Remember crew duty time would play a factor in whether they would return to their home Station among other things

Air Force Magazine reports the first 2 , of 4 B-1's, arriving yesterday, so maybe 4 is all we will get.

Heard that the two arrivals from today are parked near the dunfield crash gate has anyone got pan numbers for there locations?

[BOLLO]

Just a quick question.When both flights arived did they roll full length to the end or turn short and taxi off to parking ??

[Skywatcher]

Full length I think they rolled Paul mate ,just going from videos posted though ..

[nitro999]
