Formating over Brize for RIAT...

It's fortunate that you don't need ZZ174, zz.  That went off to San Antonio ALC for upgrade on 11th - which will take a few months.

ZZ176 was at Brize this weekend - until 15.46 on Sunday, when it departed (at the third attempt) across the pond carrying two Apaches ZZ182 and ZZ222.

For those who need it, ZZ171 is now back from same after 10 months away.
