Passed over Bridgnorth a few minutes ago.

Hopefully not an entirely stupid question...

When two U-2Ss launch using c/s "Black 01 & 02" like today and Wednesday, is it always the case that it is the two with the "Span Pods"?

Thanks for all the progress info. guys, I sometimes get to see them over Bridgnorth after the Shawbury turn.

Thanks for all the tracking info guys, it gives me a better chance to see the return flights in South Shropshire.

Could anyone provide a serial tie-up for Black02 today please?

Alan.

ZZ415 Wildcat HMA later flew as WHE05
ZZ513 Wildcat HMA
ZZ Wildcat AH

AH Wildcat serial ended in '7' if that helps. ZH829 was at the western end.

I had a noisy jet trailing NE over South Shropshire at 08:23. No optics to id type though. Nothing on 360Radar either.

Just seen 2x B2 heading north over Bridgnorth, assume I missed the first one?

2x Chinooks parked up near the Merlin apron also seen on Friday morning - possibly the same pair? (Serials u/k but both with Union flag on rear pylon)
