Twitter doesn't seem to be updating today, but the farcebook page says they've displayed at Manston and are heading for Weston.

Extremely windy yet again today in the south so another bumpy ride for the crew. Image

They crewed in an hour ago and are waiting for the cloud base to lift.

Still waiting for cloud to clear, so obviously they didn't get the IMC rating they were talking about a few weeks ago to avoid just such an occasion.

Nothing here at Brize, and by the looks of it everyone is at Waddo departures

One of the tweets said overhead Brize Norton. Bit odd.
