Apparently (from a reliable source ) it ingested a bird when it arrived and is still awaiting repair before it can go back home.

"Upgraded power" - either overlaying with bigger cables or putting additional ones on. Whichever it enables supplying increased load demand. Or, put simply, beefing up the network. I was told that the power requirements for the new hangar is greater than the rest of the existing base, hence the new...

Hi,

After what appears to be a 23-24hour sortie for the pair of B1s yesterday, is that usual or even common? It seems a hell of a long time to be in the cockpit so do they have the ability to take breaks and share command/control?

They provided a nice bit of entertainment doing circuits whilst I was queueing to get in this morning. Hopefully there'll be more to look at this week

Interesting. I saw this parked up when I drove past recently and couldn't work out what it was.

When is the MPH due to be completed?

Thanks for that
