From Czech website thread, B-1's due from 11.00L.
So, showing due 11.00 there, but they are plus 1 hour BST. So that would be 10.00 here (BST).
Fairford departure 8.30 ish allowing 1.5 hours transit and more or less direct? Pure guess!

Anyone know why the U-2 is using a "Quid" callsign which is normally assigned to Mildenhall-based tankers? Just curious really!

Have B1's departed, someone locally said very loud jets near Fairford spooked sheep in a field.

QUID was originally a callsign used by 9th SRW KC-135Qs when deployed in support of SR-71 missions, which then became a permanent detachment, and eventually the 100th ARW.sschofield wrote:Anyone know why the U-2 is using a "Quid" callsign which is normally assigned to Mildenhall-based tankers?

In theory, both 100ARW and 9RW have 'dibs' on the callsign!
