This thread is for general information about the exercise as a whole.

Here's today's Waddington movements thread: viewtopic.php?f=455&t=236572

And all movements are in the relevant "Tracking Info" section: viewforum.php?f=455

Also Rule 9 probably relevant before someone else comes along to say it!

Anyway - back to the exercise.

Hopefully the weather doesn't scrub today's sorties.

No, they leave next week, in three lots apparently.

Presume the first lot will go with the Tanker at lossie, then the other 2 lots will have a tanker come and get them.

Looked as though the tanker has already gone home. Saw it depart Lossiemouth earlier today

Just a reminder for anyone that's used the overspill at Waddington to park over the past few weeks, especially this week with the night flying about the donation link.

It's probably going to be needed this week as well for movements after the wave has shut.

Yep.

First wave have cancelled departure mon/tues/weds so far.

Tanker (15005) is at Prestwick, as is the crew ferry (15002), so they are prepped to go.

15002 was expected at Waddo tomorrow, but if there are still a fair few jets on the ground that might get delayed as well?
