Black 02 working 278.600/252.875 climbing fl 600 routing direct ROPAL

I think BLACK 01 departed earlier this morning as well.

[big john]

Not unless he turned back, as Black01 is now working 252.875 requesting direct GODOS?

Sounds like he's got up late today, I believe its just been the two departures

Interestingly, with the arrival of 80-1092 (uncoded and in non mission configuration) all 3 of Fairfords first U-2's, which moved in from Alconbury on the 15th of March 95, will be reunited when 80-1066 returns. The other being 80-1080.

Good reports - many thanks. Just one comment - was there just one mission U-2 today? My thinking is that there was a bit of a muddle over callsign used by one a/c, so sometimes 'Black 02' and sometimes 'Black 01'.

Two departed today BLACK02 departed first and BLACK01 departed about an hour later. What confused me earlier was the fact BLACK02 departed before BLACK01.
