Request for CW support arrival dates

[Ronald Jeremy]

Gents,

With the end of the exercise now in sight can anyone in the know advise on when support will start to arrive so I can plan a trip next week?

Specifically I am interested in the Indian tanker as I’m hoping it’ll be one of the two which haven’t yet visited the UK. As I also still need three Indian C-17’s I will make the effort if I need even one of these.

I also missed, and need Saudi tanker 2405 so I’m hoping this will show again. Assume these will go EMA again so any idea of arrival dates for these known yet?

I’m fairly certain there are many others on the forum with a vested interest with this subject.

I know it's not support but when do the mirages leave. I'm assuming Monday but just want to clarify. Also assuming other support will stay till tuesday

One of the aircrew at the Wave today flogging the Merchandise said they all go on Monday morning before 10am.

CB-8004 departed this morning as IFC5023. It circled Holbeach before heading over Lakenheath towards Ipswich, then turned towards London, presumably for a bit of sightseeing, then out to France over Brighton!
