It does when it is a 757 which is passenger configuration - they use the 747 for cargo ops. The company is National Airlines.

Estimate less than 50 pax, which suggests this deployment is going to be very low key.

That, Graham, sounds like only the one Buff.

[Spitfire88]

There will be 2 buffs and there may of been 50 people on board but there was a lot more than that down fairford market place last night, we have had deployment guys here for over a week now along with the ones that are based at Fairford

[graham luxton]

Guessing they'll be AFRC jets from the 93BS which has 3 H's which have never been reported visiting Fairford.

In Air Force talk I believe those are called "the advanced echelon", some of them were out on the ramp to process the pax.
