Fairly quiet day at Leeming.

Not saying the French aren't turning up today, but it's looking less and less likely that it will be today. I'd probably go for an arrival tomorrow for the French and RAF (Friday)

There are 6 power units lined up on the taxi way in front of HAS20- may be ready for a later arrival or more likely tomorrow?
