Anyone know if anything has been bombed up for tomorrow or tanked up?

I'm over Heacham way next week is there a possibility of seeing the bombers OTT or do they not head over that way during sorties/training?

Cheers

Hi Chris - I take it you mean Heacham in Norfolk? I don’t know of another Heacham it has to be said.

The majority of sorties this week (minus Thursdays trip to the Holbeach range) have taken them in to Europe / Scandinavia. They have routed up the Daventry Corridor to waypoint MAM (Marham) then made a right turn towards NAVPI (sort of east of Great Yarmouth mid-point of the North Sea) taking them directly OTT Norwich and Great Yarmouth - they have been doing the same in reverse. So not OTT Heacham but if you were to be in the vicinity of MAM (not too far away) you would see them if the weather is clear - they are in the ascent/descent at around 10,000 ft at that point.

Update - Fridays flights have taken them MAM-MC9 which has taken them towards EA1 waypoint which is Coltishall. So North of the flights earlier in the week.

I hope that helps.

Hi

Please can someone repeat which day the exercise finishes - it must be on here somewhere but I can't find the date.

I had heard Friday the 29th of March?

[jingernut]

I don't believe an end date has been given yet.

[colt99]

Been told they are homebound next friday, the 5th April.

[thevulcan]

Already mentioned in rotations thread?

[Pune]

I don't think an end date has been mentioned anywhere, during the press briefing the question was asked but a definitive answer was not forthcoming, I'm sure someone will know though.

[slogen51]

Been told they are homebound next friday, the 5th April.

Cheers for the help

Not a problem

[Tiger 1]

Blimey... possibly heading home soon... thought they were here for a while with crew rotations.

[thevulcan]

Not unless first crew rotation is 5th April.

Where did the information come from about a date?

[JASTREB]

Does it still look like a crew rotation this weekend? If so, does that mean a transport of some sort?
