Re: XV226 Departing
I guess she was the Nimrod that overflew Cottesmore at 11.05 local today. A bit of a surprise for me but she was good to see, one last time in the air!
I was told there are 3 more to fly out - anyone know when/where?

Re: XV226 Departing
18th should be XV255, and 25th XV229 but could have a problem getting it in there??
Looks like 252 and 260 are destined for the chop as they have been moved nearer the caravan site, joining 241, while 244 and 235 should still be in the hangars nearby. Only one I'm missing a fate for is XV248, is there any of it left now? (254 is / was in the woods near to the display a/c.)

XV255 is going to Manston on the 18th, this will be the last MR2 flight
that leaves XV229 as the last possible flyer, it was to be Cosford on the 25th which is now very doubtful....so your guess is as good as mine
XV241 is rumoured for the Gate to replace XV240
XV248 not sure where that is, but it may be for the chop as its grounded
XV260 is for the chop with its cockpit going to Carlisle
XV252 is for the chop
XV235 & XV244 are stored and hangared
