Thanks John, I often see inbounds and departures when I'm working around Swindon and this will really help me to ID what I've seen. I'll add your link to the "links" forum.

And 60-0037 beautifully captured at Valley's families day by carmedic on other thread.
Lucky coincidence for Valley

Not a coincidence, it had been known about for a few days that they'd asked for one and it was happening.

Mark,
Think my point was it was a positive coincidence that the B52 deployment coincided with the families day or was the date of the families day set around the deployment.
Anyway its irrelevant as carmedics pic is stunning and I bet we all wish to have been there to see it in that light.
But please let me also say the Fairford blog is an excellent addition to this site and add on to Brize - enormous gratitude to those who make it happen, as I like most just get the benefit not always able to contribute.
Well done guys

B2s aren't supposed to be coming this year at all. B1s aren't due until the end of August/beginning of September
Cheers
