You mean Spitfire XVI?
CV-22 departed early afternoon, Spanish EF-18 is on taxi now, as is/was the Atlas.
Something amiss with the Gripen, as all the drop tanks have beeb removed.

Thanks for the info, I am watching the planes tv stream and they had a power loss so I missed a few departures. Jordanian C130 looks like it won't be departing today. With Brize closing due to the heat I wonder if the RAF Atlas will stay too.

Brazilian C-390 and one of the light planes seemed to abort take off?
Correct - C-390 aborted due to technical problems, one of the Austers took to the air briefly and then landed again due to the heat.

I got a video of the aborted Brazilian C-390 take off, will post it later

Austrian Typhoons also didn't aborted didn't they?
No, they were held on the runway and then taxi'd back to parking due to French ATC issues they said on the scanner.

Anything else left at Fairford except the Spanish Hornet, Swedish Gripen, RAF A400 and Jordanian C-130?

Regarding the Austrians that is correct but did one of them still not have a problem after yesterday's display was cut short?

Only asking as I only saw 1 Typhoon leave before I left at 2pm and the other 1 was still there
