Re: Stansted April 2022
I believe that there is an Irish Air Corps CASA on the ground this morning. Should be leaving just after 1pm.
Re: Stansted April 2022
Friday, if the gossip is good, there should be a German airforce A340 at about 12:45 pm, leaving 5pm' ish.
Re: Stansted April 2022
I have just seen a photo of the A340 at STN. Its a very modest looking aircraft, very understated. The 'Luftwaffe' on the tail is so faint it is difficult to read.
Re: Stansted April 2022
I am hearing that towards the end of the week we can expect some diversions from Brize as there are apparently some runway works being done there. Thursday and Friday evening there should be MRTT's due into STN for overnight stops because of this.
Re: Stansted April 2022
They used Mildenhall last year for the same reason.
Re: Stansted April 2022
Yes I saw them at Mildenhall last year when I visited. I don't think its all the Brize flights at STN, just a couple. Any others could go elsewhere. Mildenhall is pretty busy at the moment with all the visiting aircraft and the temporarily posted KC-10's so they may not have the headroom this time. Mildenhall is also closed from the 14th to 19th April so that could also be a factor.
Re: Stansted April 2022
Any reason why RAF Fairford can not take these flights ? Surely crew transfer back to Brize available ? Guess it's good "away from base" training.

Re: Stansted April 2022
I believe ZZ330 is at Stansted and I will update the initial post when I get to a computer, it’s quite tricky on the formatting on the phone.
Re: Stansted April 2022
A nice looking USMC UC-12 (B350 King Air) came into STN today at lunchtime. Should be leaving noon tomorrow. Reg 16-8208

Re: Stansted April 2022
G-VYGK has been back and forth between Stansted and Thessaloniki between 14th and 16th April. It is one of the AirTanker 'surge fleet' but was using an RRR callsign.STN RAMP RAT wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 10:00 amI believe ZZ330 is at Stansted and I will update the initial post when I get to a computer, it’s quite tricky on the formatting on the phone.
Re: Stansted April 2022
JD4781, yes that is the same as I was told. If the rumour is correct G-VYGK should be back again Tuesday evening (19th) with another RAF RRR callsign.
Re: Stansted April 2022
There's a USAF G5 arriving in the next hour and should be at STN until tomorrow 3:15 pm'ish
Re: Stansted April 2022
A usually reliable source suggests that in early May we may be getting both Japanese air force Boeing 777's into Stansted on what could be long range training flights. If I hear any more I will post it up.
Re: Stansted April 2022
Appreciate the heads up on the Japanese

I think I read that it was next Wednesday afternoon for 24 hours
Re: Stansted April 2022
Don't think it's training, Politico are reporting Japanese PM will be visiting London on Thursday for talks with Boris Johnson.
