New Fairford Bomber deployment
Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
As per the Ostrava thread:
If the flying one is launching/recovering from Fairford, that might mean a bit of weekend action for anyone here in the U.K.
Rumour has it possible airshow attendance this weekend and maybe next Saturday too, so keep an eye out.

Not a lot in the UK, unless they're planning on doing Rhyl.

Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
B-52 up.
Didn't catch the callsign due to crappy reception, but showing on ADS-B Exchange as SPICY 51 routing ENE.
( Strange reception conditions recently....picking up flights up to 200NM - sometimes further - to the West and North of my location, but often less than 50NM away to the South and East )
Edited to add...
Looks to be lurking over Norfolk
Edited again...
Eastbound towards The Netherlands
@ 11:15hrs ...
Currently showing heading Southeast, crossing Romania

Edited to add...
FM website lists 2 as being up ( '51 & '52 )...only heard comms from '51 & it's the only one which has been showing on the tracking sites.

Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
B-52(s) up!
Faintly heard SPICY 52 ( which logically could mean '51 is up as well )
As usual, crappy reception means I haven't heard any other info.
Edited @ 12:57 to add....
Shows how crappy the reception was, it's showing up on ADS-B Exchange, with the callsign SPICY 62
Currently routing roughly NEwards, abeam Cambridge

After playing over Sweden for several hours, SPICY's now on the way back -- heading SW, coasting out over the Skagerrak

Not a B-52, but U-2 DRAGON 52 is up, working 252.875
Edited @ 10:30hrs to add...
NOTAM's now expired & gone, nothing else heard arriving or departing.

Think there's a U-2 up, only catching the '01' part of it's callsign on 252.875 ( so presumably BLACK 01 )

Given the callsign sequence, I've been half expecting '991 to turn up.

Re: New Fairford Bomber deployment
SPICY 31 up.
Was heading South towards the Channel, but has just turned left & is currently routing along the South Coast, currently approaching Southampton
Edited to add...
Sod's law says seconds after I posted this they call another course change, and are now heading roughly SE coasting out over the IOW.
