So can't have achieved much on that sortie - was that RTB with an unserviceability or was it an airborne spare?

Tanker was told it was a maintenance issue, see viewtopic.php?f=8&t=211920#p1349814

Ah thanks, one does need to do a bit of multi-threading in these circumstances!

TWR just called closed on 246.35
At least whatever the issue is it wasn’t serious enough for 02 to return as well ,seems to have continued on with the misson 02.
At the end of the day they did the right thing to return they ain’t going to risk anything...best to have it checked over on the ground when home safe

Might just be a mission capability issue, rather than flight safety.

But like they say, it's better to be on the ground wishing you were airborne, than to be airborne wishing you were on the ground....

Each time he changed freqs when returning he called 'Javelin 01 emergency' & with full emergency services attending landing there was clearly an 'issue'.

Any update on the location of javelin 02
Many thanks

Not seen anything posted anyway since 01 split off, but I’m going to guess they’ve been to North Africa- just a guess mind

Tower not long called open on rwy 27

Strange that NATS UK and the Defense Internet NOTAM Service both had two different FAIRFORD MIL ATZ ACTIVE notices! Obviously the one created at 13:28 Zulu is the current one.
