Apologies if this has already been answered earlier in the thread, but may I ask for how long these will be at Fairford? I am on leave next week and may be able to squeeze in a visit!

Thanks!

[Brevet Cable]

Guess it's safe to say that - barring unforeseen circumstances - they'll still be there next week.
Think previous similar deployments have lasted about a month or more, haven't they?

[Brevet Cable]

no NOTAM ( yet? )

Faint from my location, but at least one B-52 up....callsign sounds like BRIG 62

Getting fainter ( so presumably Eastbound again ) but callsign confirmed as BRIG 62, requesting climb to FL200
