That'll be the BADA meeting which is not at RAF Fairford, unless they arrive in US C-130sSean Mac wrote:Yeah that will be for the British Air Display Association meeting.
Sean.

The meeting is at DBH which is not part of the base BTW and no aircraft are involved

Re: Fairford Active Thursday 29th March
I'd guess this is more likely to be the arrival of the MC-130's for the exercise...
