FC report that 4x B-52Hs are rumoured to arrive at Fairford on 10th Feb, presumably from 5BW at Minot as.........
"RCH103" C-17A 97-0044 left Minot at about 21:45 for Fairford. Meanwhile, "CMB501" B772 N819AX is at Minot for Fairford.
Quite a bit of equipment has been moved into the SW loop (usual Marston Meysey area).
It is not known at this stage how long they are staying.

Pity if correct as all are previous Fairford visitors and none needed here.

All parked up at the usual Marston Meysey end this afternoon.
Pleasingly, 61-0018 was the one that was fully visible- the others just slightly obscured by trees or the lie of the land.

I didn't hear a thing, Graham, despite being still up. They were well over your way, so I'm not surprised.
