There's another KC-135 tracking over the North Sea tracking south, according to FR. No ID but its out of Geilenkirchen. For those trying to find it its just about to pass the Delta flight DAL161
Possibly for NATO40 also out of Geilenkichen.

LAGR 33 has just popped up off the coast from Bodø, so possibly not related to the Bones after all - unless it's been a Northern GPM?

The specified duration on the FPL is 15 hours, but they will turn up whenever they have finished their tasking. It could be sooner, it could be later.

Your best bet is to take the time as a rough guide, but expect it to move left or right as the mission dictates.

Maybe straw-grasping but Typhoon Apollo41 out of Cranwell is heading purposely NE across the North Sea - photo opp?

LAGR 33 Has just appeared on it's way back, well north of Scotland - to the right of the Faroes, may be relevant ?

Perfectly executed answer that! Until they hit the deck it’s difficult to know what they are doing. The amount of ETA’s being shared is insane.

Thank you! I always find it funny that people look at certain online systems and take the time on there as gospel. For want of a better phrase, the bombers kind of do what they want and turn up when they are ready :cool:

There doesn't seem to be any word of comms on here, so i'd suggest they are a little way off yet.

Watch this thread, turn on a scanner if you have it, and wait :) The initial ETA was 1535L could be right could be wrong.

Don't we love bomber deployments :whistle:

100% I think people forget that they can amend plans in the air and change times people might have seen or know. I just can’t understand why people feel the need to keep going on. If they are so worried about it just drive down and wait 🤣

Original timings were given as 1535-1635. Don't panic. Take a breather. Chill out and just wait.

🤣🤣 always the way mate! I’m local and I can’t even be bothered to go down there as the weathers gash. I’ll update when I hear comms but sometimes think it’s not worth doing it 👀
