Hi mate, thanks for the update and scanner rolling, shame about the weather today.

[Spitfire88]

It's raining pretty good I'm Meysey Hampton but we shall be making our way to the 27 end shorty as the boys want to watch the bones take off.

[Spitfire88]

Updated departure time from bone01 is 1200z

[Spitfire88]

Bone01 cleared to taxi as a one ship, bone02 looks to be tech again, he's 50/50 for departure later.

[Spitfire88]

Bone01 line up and wait 09

[Spitfire88]

Bone01 departed 1158z

[skywatch1]

Yes, heard Bone 01 depart on 127.250 and then all went quiet !!!! nothing else heard :-/

[Stroudy]

They tried a couple of times with 02.. started up and wound down etc. One is better than none and 01 was a visual and sonic delight at the 09 end in the clag and murk. She seemed quite heavy as took a while to get rolling whilst torching the runway

I feel well and truly boned

[skywatch1]

Well, I hope 01 get's back in ok ??? it's well clagged in at Lyneham scanner still rolling for any thing heard from 01 when it comes back ??

[skywatch1]

Just looked at the Kemble airfield cam's, it's a 'white' out hope Fairford isn't the same

[Stroudy]

It'll be good training for them! All landings cant be clear, so I guess the plane will be being used in conditions its built for.

On "Zello" feed, mentioned yesterday for south west England. American accent repoted in to ATC. Asked twice for aircraft type .....B1B. ---- Perhaps on way in.
