yes - just this flight for now - word is they hope to leave DSA around 1000 Sat and intend to route via Farnborough (to validate their display for SBAC) then on to Fairford. Flight time 1hr 45mins.

Yes thanks, I realise what you meant now but at the time wasn't sure if you were referring to t/o being cancelled at that time or the sortie
