So did I.
Worth noting is that 60-0025 is on its 1st visit to the UK since April/May 1977 when it was at Marham.
60-0024 has been 100% confirmed as being hex AE587D.

I need it, but bear in mind that I didn't even know about the 2012 deployment, so missed it at that time.
Looks like more (one/two) tomorrow.

Hi Bob, Probable silly question, but is there anyway of finding out when they are due out over the next couple of days? Bill

Hi Bill,
I'm am afraid that you just turn up and take your chance.
About your only warning is when the "AD OPEN" or "MIL ATZ ACTIVE" NOTAM for EGVA (Fairford) get posted, which is usually at fairly short notice (today was an hour and a half).
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Bob

I’m thinking of going tomorrow morning for the one I need. As it didn’t get back until 17.40 this evening I’m hoping it won’t go out too early tomorrow!

I usually find that weekends are a pretty safe bet to see everything that's temporarily based. The downside is it's always a lot busier with people.

Thanks, Bill.
BTW, excellent video (from the Marston Meysey crash gate) of a real "Smokey Joe" in action. Incredible to think that they are almost 60 years old and still going strong (and will do so for a good many years yet).
