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.

Just checked my records - yes it was at Yeovilton 
Thanks for the thought otherwise I would have 140 miles for nothing.

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.
