Many thanks for the heads-up - sounds interesting! I may whizz over to Fairford later and would appreciate guess as to its arrival time?

Just about to head over South Wales by Port Talbot @16:22 local and at 25,000ft so around 20 mins to landing, depending on runway in use.

Good Morning Everyone,
Can any one please advise if the C-32A is staying at Fairford - might it be what some call the escape jet for POTUS.
Was there yesterday (100 mile trip) to see the C-17A so I don't want to make a wasted journey.
M.T.I.A.

Given the callsign I’m pretty sure it’s his escape jet, so if all goes well it should stay until the President leaves London

[razzer56]

Thank you Sam for the reply.
Its along time since we met you and your dad on a boat trip around a US Carrier in Stokes Bay. I had just bought a digi camera and you kindly gave some advice on settings for it and later sent me an image of F-18's on the hangar deck.
Regards,
Colin. Frome

Oh wow, that has been a long time! Hope you’re keeping well It’s a shame we didn’t get another carrier visit to Stokes Bay this summer, but I think world events have scuppered that.
