This is quite likely to be for these and implies a departure time of around 09.00 - but don't quote me!!!

The above ALTRV has been taken down and another one (G0384/16) issued for Tuesday 22nd - same times, same route.

Another 24 hour delay and a new ALTRV (G0385/16) for Wednesday 23rd November.

Same times, same routing.

The other tanker is "BLUE61" KC-10A 86-0027 of 305AMW which arrived at Mildenhall on Saturday 19th.

The TRK2 entry in the ALTRV is for one of the tankers to depart the formation at 55N20W and return to he UK via waypoint DOGAL (54N15W).  This will probably be "BLUE62".

Tech issue on one of the 15s caused today's delay I've been told
