Re: F15 Qatar
Can’t reveal source ,but have seen strange details that the 4 F-15’s are to transfer to Stansted tomorrow,2 at about 10am and 2 at 3pm .
For work to be carried out on them a C-17 is due at Stansted in conjunction with it .
It all sounds far fetched but ..

Re: F15 Qatar
There are apparently slots at Stansted for them to arrive on Wednesday and leave on Friday.

Re: F15 Qatar
I've seen this on a source I can reveal, posted on the Stanstedmailman group on Saturday (by Simon).
That post says there are slots booked for all 4 to arrive on Wednesday, first 2 at 1000 and second 2 at 1500 so different date to above (the Stansted post is only re slots so possibly have changed to what is now today).
All down to depart Fri 1300.
Registrations showing as QA535/6/7/8(unsurprisingly).
hopefully should also be useful for anyone wanting to catch their departure from Mildenhall about 15 minutes prior to these times (or are they now at Lakenheath? I've lost track of which they went to after Farnborough)

Re: F15 Qatar
Like many I'm heading over later.
I have lost track of these, are they all back at Lakenheath now and if so visible from outside?
I only saw the Fairford pair.
Many thanks

Re: F15 Qatar
I wonder what the chance of them still being there this Thursday is? Hoping to pop up then.

Re: F15 Qatar
Only found one this evening.. QA-537.
The other must be tucked away in a hangar.
537 easily visible from Maidscross Hill on Alpha ramp
I believe it is.
The AV F-16 is in that line too.
