Are they likely to move tomorrow, or are they here for a weekend stop?

Stuck at work so cannot check as restricted internet access but is this the one that was at Yeovilton in 1996? Will save me a trip if it is.

Thanks for the info, may think twice about a trip now... Probably best with the weather conditions!

Thanks Ray. If correct then this aircraft was struck off charge by the US Navy in 2004 and stored at St Augustine, FL last noted still there according to Scramble in 2007. Presumably, it has been refurbished and is on delivery to the Egyptians.

This is an aircraft known to be going to the Egyptian Air Force.
Shame its an ex USN machine, particularly as many will have seen it at Yeovilton in 1996.
