Yeah that's the top of my agenda ( that was meant to be funny - I guess we all post in good faith)

No ALTRV at the moment but the tanker movement is encouraging

Well, either people have had inside info, or they are plain making things up. Again unless hearsay is converted into proof nobody is any wiser! I prefer Roast Turkey this time of the year, just saying.

I think there may have been some misinformation put out by someone in case the parking gets out of hand!

Unless you elaborate on where your info comes from, even in a vague sense then the credibility remains low.

Call me a Sinic (sp) but maybe the miss information for both sides is from those who want the first pics....

Unlike me who wants to be there for nostalgic and to witness history

Like most of the F35 information, not much of a source from either side of the yes/no camp.

Hey let's not have a significant event spoiled by a squabble or squabble in private like the rest of us :)

Yes agreed, I'll stay quiet now and see what materialises (i.e. an ALTRV hopefully at some point today?) Enjoy the new beginning all when the F35's arrive. It will be sad to see the reapers depart next year, but we still have the F15E's to enjoy :)

I wonder what the chances of them diverting to RAF Fairford are . . . . Just keeping my fingers crossed!
