Going by reports on the OTT section, the RC-135S has departed and gone oceanic with Quid 96.

Reported departing last night as ATAS 21, (from Touchdown News) which is a mission callsign? Maybe he is on a TDY at Mildenhall for a bit.

Yep, he circled twice then came in on 11. They don't normally let them do that on a Sunday morning (quite hours)

You picked a good week to go home Paul, today was really dead at the Hall. The only action being three F15s diverting in while LN runway was black and 38025 going out as GHOST51 to play with a Warton TARNISH Typhoon.
The only arrival was an Evergreen 747 N488EV and 20550 C130H 19AW departed with a repaired engine for home, both after dark!
Cheers, Chris.
