Thanks

German Herc

Very nice

[reaper493]

The German Herc parked on what used to be called Bravo this morning, I believe this is where the Tornados will operate from.

Bravo is the first dispersal adjacent to the A15, behind where the Vulcan used to be.

The Italians should be parking down the southern end, where the Israeli's were last time.

Was this a first for a Luftwaffe C-130 to land at an RAF base?

[reaper493]

I think it was, but not the first visit to the UK, there was one at Inverness not too long ago?

[np1991]

55+01 visited Inverness twice in July.

[Tally-ho]

@ reaper493 and np1991, thank you for the information.

[reaper493]

Updated with the full list of movements/participants as of today.

[Mullet]

Anyone know when the GAF Tornados go back?

[reaper493]

Updated.

Only one F-2000 and the E3 remains.

[captain scarlet]

Superb set of movements, no need for me to do a log!

[baz1]

i would have thought GAF C-130 /A400 would have been back or am i missing something?

[Andy Marden]

You missed the fact that an Italian C-130Js took their freight back to Schleswig.

[baz1]

yes i did indeed!

[reaper493]

MM7330 / 4-56 F-2000a about to depart. A 2nd F-2000 (presumably a B) arrived yesterday around 16.30 I'm told.

[Andy Marden]

It was MM55097/4-24
