Got BLACK01 on 247.800 Maastricht Mil bandboxed. No squawk (change) mentioned by controller like yesterday for now.

Got a U2 inbound but he is where I would expect BLACK2 to be , out towards ROPAL.

JAKE 11 is just coming back , I would expect BLACK 01 to be about an hour behind him...but I may be wrong.

Heading 220 on 252.875

[AG]

At approximately 16:45 one of today’s U2 flights made a low turn within the vicinity of Stanford in the Vale, between Faringdon and Wantage (Oxfordshire) - it was heading east, turned north and then west, presumably for final descent into Fairford. I don’t know if any of you chaps who track their flights might be able to give an indication as to what altitude the aircraft would have been at whilst making its turn? It would be helpful to know in connection with another matter. Many thanks. AG.
