B1’s currently being crewed up

136 running

140 also running down the Marston Meysey end

Anyone else thinking these could be maintenance ground runs?

I am not aware of them having to be fully crewed just for ground runs but could be wrong.

Notams just been extended

136 taxi

136 taxing. Credit PCB.

Anyone heard any further ? I don’t think they have departed I last heard them call for taxi on 339.7 at 1020 I could not quite make out the call but sounded something like PE?1 flight

Non departed

136 no longer strobing from what i can see but I'm at the opposite side of the airfield

103 has APU connected but still remove before tags attached . Been this way for about an hour

Cheers for above much appreciated,coms quiet now to

Presumably you mean a GPU as an APU is normally fitted internally to the airframe.

Yes that's what I mean

Now calling tower 246.35 checks complete

Taxing down 27

Any idea where he's going?

Possibly trying a familizaton (fami ) flight this morning
Coms quite again for the last few mins not called taxi to park as yet so assume they are monitoring TWR 246.35
