"CKS9457" was Kalitta B744 N741CK
"BONE01" B-1B 85-0084 ended mission by RV'ing with "QUID652" at MAM and then routing > LUK and turn left and crossing for Ellsworth AFB, SD.....presumably changed callsign to "MYTEE11".
Departures for home:- "MYTEE12" B-1B 85-0083 departed 11.32BST "MYTEE13" B-1B 86-0139 departed 11.33BST. "MYTEE21" B-2A 82-1068 departed 14.29BST
"CKS458" B744 N741CK departed 12.34BST "RCH979" C-5M 85-0004 departed 12.52BST
That's it, apart from any remaining cargo/personnel flights.
Until AMPLE STRIKE in August/September - B-52s and B-1s I think I read somewhere.

Called by Fairford on way back from Gloucester, was lucky to catch both the Kalitta and C-5's departures. ZZ173 did a couple of circuits and there was at least one B2 on the deck IMG_0897 by Graham Brown, on Flickr IMG_0885 by Graham Brown, on Flickr

Only the one B-2, Graham, as above 82-1068. the other one departed last Thursday.
If you heard a loud noise over Devizes (more or less) at 14.35, that was the B-2 departing.

Come out well, Graham - despite the heat haze.
I wonder if the engine was the "broken" B-52 one from early in the exercise?

Hi Bob, yes I thought it looked B-52 sized.
