[xkekeith]

Hurricane, Sorry to hear of your loss. The two B-2As that were on the South Coast photo op were 82-1071 Spirit of Mississippi and 89-0168 Spirit of New York. No known firm duration but several weeks has been quoted.

Itv news report last night. (Friday) said they were gonna be here for 2 months.
We can only hope.

also on this article https://www.itv.com/news/2019-08-30/ame ... to-europe/

the last sentence here:

Even though the B2s are only here for two 2 months, they want Russia to take note

a good sign, although of course things could change, or this could just be plain inaccurate

Was it a 'Press Day' yesterday, did anyone find out further gen?

BBC also reported last night that they will be deployed for the forseeable future.

[Thunder]

2 months of doing the daily log, o , thought they were only here for a couple of weeks

[ffd]

I missed getting the sunset shots that people got the other day, so selfishly I’m holding out for another one of those!

Depends on how far you can 'forsee' !
Don't get your hopes up too much, it'll probably be about a month.

[SamP]

"only" here for 2 months... The longest they've ever been here before is less than 2 weeks. "Only" is certainly not the word I would use.

The whole article isn't exactly written well, I highly doubt they'll be here for two months. I think you'll fin ITV have their wires crossed.

Full press conference here, sound quality isn't great though

There's not great sound quality and then there's this! Holy moly. I had high hopes when I clicked on that link. Seems they'll let anyone into a media event these days...

[Mike]

Good God, that's awful!

[von_trippenhopf]

Great press conference!
"We're here, we will be here for a while, we will be doing things, some of which we will do with the RAF, and then we'll go somewhere else to do stuff".
Who'd have guessed!
I suppose with the heightened OPSEC that goes with big black sneaky aeroplanes a press conference is just a formality to show willing really.

[Mr AMARC]

Back to some more practical question, about the length of their stay. 2 months would be great, but hard to believe. on scramble.nl a date of 13.09. was given, which would make it 2 weeks. Sounds more likely, but is there any valid information so far?

thanks in advance, regards
Martin

[RedsSnapper]

If there any intel anywhere on when they are likely to be flying can anyone confirm? Fairford isn't *that* far, but it's certainly far enough that I probably don't want to be doing it on spec just to draw a blank...

[raptor309]

What's happening to them once they get back from a mission? Are they hangared or left outside? (If i was to drive down on Saturday or Sunday whats the likelyhood that i'll see them in other words)
