Fairford 14 October 2023

[tomcat14]

Along with many others I went to Fairford on Saturday 14 October for the arrival of 2 further B1B's. Variously rumoured to be arriving at 2pm, 3pm and 3-4pm in the end they mirrored the 2 that turned up the previous Thursday, at 4pm.

Here are some shots taken from the Marston Meysey, 09, end.

Nice shots Chris. First graphed 86-0124 in the static at the open house at Beale AFB, California back in 1990 (a frightening 33 years ago) having been the first one delivered new to the 384th Bomb Wing at McConnell, Kansas in 1988. She later passed to the Georgia National Guard and then to Dyess. Sadly all 4 on the deployment have visited the UK before (first saw 86-0103 at Fairford back in 1997), so none needed.
