Just heard it land. Wondered what it was as don't hear many prop aircraft at Lakenheath. Is it German Air Force?

Post by **slogen51** » Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:16 am

French Air Force

Hopefully Rafale support

Didn't hear it take off as left on 06 over Brandon but heard it when it doubled back and flew over village at FL14.

Someone previously mentioned about some Harriers coming in. Was that just speculation or is it actually a possibility?

Deployment of USMC AV-8Bs was cancelled.

Post by **bizfreeq** » Sun Nov 25, 2018 9:56 pm

It was also previously mentioned that the AV-8s were not coming.

Hi all looking at weather forecast this week for the U.K.
It might be either Thursday or Friday Arrival am guessing?

See how the forecast shapes it but a lot of wet and windy weather due to hit.
Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately that’s not going to help you , as have heard French are leaving Wednesday.

Most likely to still go ahead as planned for Tuesday 27th. Winds look to be quite strong on Wednesday and Thursday gusting up to 40mph. With the Rafales here with their support group I guess they're working hard ready for tomorrow. Might see some flying today for familiarization, who knows.
