8x Black Eagles did a recce at Farnborough at around 3pm today (Mon 11/7). Sadly, I only had my 'Mks1s' with me on the school run.

They were codes 1-8, taken from my photos.

Not seen this elsewhere on FC,
Been advised via a friend that Black Eagles are departing Boscombe Down 13th @08:50 for Fairford via Arundel, Shoreham, Brighton, Beachy Head and Dover arriving Fairford @10:00.
Anyone able to confirm, plus timings and actual routing please,
TIA, Rob

Don't suppose anyone's managed to ID any of these yet please? I recall the serial is only present on the data block on one side of the cockpit?!
1 - 10-0052
2 - 10-0051
3 - 15-0084
4 - 10-0053
5 - 10-0057
6 - 10-0056
7 - 10-0058
8 - 10-0060
Blank - 10-0059

First number is displayed on both engine intakes. Number 5 being upside-down.
Hi All - I'm very confused, but that's not difficult, so hope someone can help please? This list, and the RIAT checklist, match, and both quote the spare as 10-0059. Normally, I'd take them as read, and that would be that, as others can get closer to them than i can.

My issue is, I saw a picture on social media on 2 June 2022, in an article about them being dismantled in Korea, for transportation to the UK, where in the background of one being dismantled, there is a grey one which clearly has the serial on the tail as 059. It doesn't have a canopy!...

answers on a postcard please.

It will no doubt have been FA-50 16059, a different aircraft.

10-0059 was the nonflyer at Riat on Saturday, easy to read off. It may have been coded 9 but the engine cover overlaps where the display number should be

Does anyone know the timings theKoreans are leaving tomorrow?

I'm hearing the Black Eagles are leaving early (6.30 ish maybe zulu time) and the Hercs spread out through the morning. That's a rumour to me so cannot rely upon.

Can anyone confirm the BE actually left today? I know the Hercs are all gone, but not seen a report yet of any move of the BE.
