Does anyone know if this has been hangared at all? Was thinking I might take a trip down for it this evening if it is parked outside

Many thanks in advance

Glen

[MikeB]

As it's not a 'dark' departure, I'd expect them to have it in the hangar at the moment until the morning.

[BlackPanther832]

Oh well, such is life I guess, thanks for the reply Mike Saves a wasted trip huh?

Cheers

Glen

I would have thought hangared on arrival.

[dragonchaser]

Todays U2 was hangared about an hour after it landed.
Approx 13.00 local.

[Raptor22]

grrrrr thought it maybe well thanks for your help guys hope it goes saturday morning raptor22

[phil8561]

Never even heard her take off, and living on camp she's normally a good alarm

[Raptor22]

Oh blast or words to that meaning lol so she left then 68-10331 will catch her one day thanks raptor22

[mushbuster]

Raptor, nothing has taken off from the Fairford runway this morning which should mean the U-2 is still there in the hangar. I would keep your eyes open for a NOTAM if I were you.

[MikeB]

I think Phil means he never heard 073 take-off yesterday morning. As mushbuster has said, 331 hasn't departed this morning.
