Many, many people have asked the same question and the answer remains the same. 'Nobody knows' when they are leaving.

Howdo, NJM.
Someone in Heads Up, only one, has seen summat on MSF, whatever that is, they could be here until the 15th July.
From all the postings and there's pages of them it's a case of wait and see- keep ya ear to the ground. For me I'd love to see some of these a/c, but my distance travelling days are over.

MSF is Mil Spotters Forum - an email group. Been around for years - once Yahoo IIRC now groups.io
Re: F22
Whilst no one can say a day for sure, surely there would be some kind of warning before they left right? Whether that be someone spotting activity around them or tankers into Mildenhall? Or could it literally be a total surprise? Basically in our current situation is it safe to assume they probably won’t go in the next 1 to 2 days? I’m free to come down Thursday or Friday but given there’s been such little activity around them I don’t see a possibility of them going anywhere that soon but I could be wrong.

Keep watching the forum for comments and I’m sure things will eventually become clear.

It would wouldn’t surprise me if they moved them out this weekend undercover of the long July 4th Independence Day holiday shutdown.
Re: F22
Looks like local sortie(s) today at least - viewtopic.php?f=8&p=1680283#p1680283

Flying local sorties this afternoon if you can't access the other areas of the forum yet.

Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

It’s still all just rumours. As some have said end of July, some August, some said they’d be gone…so who knows!!
