Blue21 is showing on the Libhomeraadar site as 87-0119

picked up about an earlier than Blue 11 was on Friday (that is only a rough estimation that they will turn up one hour earlier)

Five of the potential Bureau numbers are posted on the farnborough-aviation-group proboards group

(as usual I dont need them :grr: )

cheers

Mike

Last MLAT fix on Blue 21 was at 16:42 on the TACAN south east of Lyon. That puts them about 1h30 out

I'm trying to understand why some people keep posting in this thread, wouldn't it be best to have locked it a long time ago? :S

Just wanted to add my own grateful thanks to all those who contributed to this thread, and indeed to so many other threads during the year. Without your information I wouldn't have undertaken so many successful trips to the likes of Barkston Heath, Brize Norton, Fairford and now Lakenheath. Please don't be put off by the small number of 'people' who seem incapable of contributing anything positive - there are a great many more who appreciate your information and respect the fact that you may not wish to compromise the source.

Particular thanks on this occasion to Oscar01, Bollo and Crashman for making the trip up from Hampshire last night so worthwhile. Standing there in the gathering gloom with over a hundred like-minded enthusiasts reminded me of an A-7 deployment to Wittering in the eighties. Oh well, back to the Bath Chair...

Another thank you from me, an annoying but otherwise worth it weekend in Suffolk led to 11 or 12 Hornets being seen, along with a decent number of 135s at Mildenhall!
