One left effects, it's on the A1101 side of the airfield but has been moved closer to the tower than when the other 3 were here also

Just to avoid any confusion, A1101 at Mildenhall. A1065 is Lakenheath.

I was in John ‘s field today and couldn’t see it from there. According to another spotter in the field it can just be seen from folly road but not much good for pictures as only the top half is visible.

No, the digit after the hyphen hasn’t been confirmed. It is ‘assumed’ to be a 0 but not confirmed. All reference to the serial on the jet ie, tail, port engine intake and front ejector seat only quote 17-015 etc etc.

The Scramble Database for USAF serials has it as 17-1015 just to add to the uncertainty and speculation.
