Thursday 30th saw 86-0124/DY arrive as the Eastbound "MYTEE14". Unfortunately this was in Fairford last August/September for Ample Strike 2017.
This morning (Saturday 1st) saw 86-0134/EL (marked "34BS") arrive at 09.27BST as the Westbound "MYTEE92". It is on a quick turn - i.e. a "gas & go". This one was in Fairford this June for Sabre Strike 2018.
The reason for the B-1 visits recently is that 100ARW are somewhat short of available tankers (with 6 currently on deployment) and evidently cannot guarantee to put up the mandatory two required for refuelling a B-1.
