Current METAR says 200 at 12kts, so 27 is most likely

Next Sunday according to the pilots. There's 14 crews currently over for the deployment and it's just a UK familiarisation exercise.

Speaking to them it also appears BaltOps has been cancelled, which could well explain why we've only seen 3 B-52s in rather than the expected 8.
