If they are landing at 1100, won’t they miss it?

They'll just start the stream early if they need to.

MIMKU DONIB GOW routing.

[CalumM]

Just heard that! They better not get that reroute. Blue skies bere at the GOW

[Stroudy]

Virgin 540 is more-or-less at 57N 20W now, headed for LHR. Gives us something to track...

Do you know the flight number of this Virgin flight. I’m having trouble locating it to get an indication of where the B1’s are. MTIA

I couldn't find it on PlaneFinder but came straight up on ADSB Exchange

[POL]

They won't get the routing via DEXEN as it's right through the middle of Dublin's arrival and departure routes. I'd be happy with GOW then POL

[DarkSky]

1016 REMUS01 - after MIMKU - DONIB - GOW (Glasgow)

They could well get a shorter routing once they are in contact with Scottish

[POL]

Scottish Mil HF 2862 squawk 6107

Corrected to 282.625

[POL]

Thanks to the information so far, the routing looks something a little like this https://skyvector.com/?ll=52.8788552227 ... GOW%20EGVA

May be a daft question but does TARTAN39 out of Brize have any role in this? Photo opp? I recall the French tanked the Buffs the last time they were here.

Nope, our tankers don't have booms.

Thanks for the link, not able to make it to FFD but I'm wondering if I'll clock them from Birmingham. Will be a difficult spot but I've managed it twice before with U-2s!

They look to be supporting the APOLLO Typhoons in that area, possibly a photo op !

[POL]

I'd expect them to route in via Valley, as that's what 'normally' happens for stuff from the Atlantic in to Fairford, but the routing towards Glasgow throws a bit of a spanner in that.

[CalumM]

TARTAN 39 is working Apollo AARA14 Hebrides range then AARA 5. REMUS may have just read back MAGEE but I only heard 'AGEE'

[Campbell89]

A couple typhoons (Apollo flight) look like they’re heading to the tanker. My first thoughts were the typhoons may escort the bones.

[Campbell89]

Is anyone picking the bones up on ADSB or similar trackers?
