Last Day CW query

Post by Tiger 1 » Tue Mar 11, 2025 8:42 am

Good morning everyone

With the last day of CW being this Friday 14th March...is it possible that support flights ..ie.. Saudi C130s and Turkish A400 might show up or will these be over the weekend and W/C 17th March?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Morning - last exercise day is looking like Thursday, so I think transports Thursday and/or Friday is almost a cert.

Hopefully they'll show on Flightradar/radarbox as expected over the next few days.

Chinooks never arrived at Waddo - we've had 2x Wildcats in for a gas and go twice but that's all.

On arrival did the Saudis refuel from the A330 that landed at East Midlands ? If so assume they will also depart with a tanker. Don't see any A330 booked for East Midlands today / tomorrow. Would guess Monday departure ?

They were dragged by two A330s that landed in southern France - Marseille I think.

They are departing tomorrow, as are the Turks.

If they haven't already departed what is the situation with the French? Are they still at Waddo or have they already departed?
