 Currently at Fairford are three Dragon U2's that arrived late morning from the west and an additional one that arrived from the east, as normal they wont be staying too long.

Dragon 51 68-10337
Dragon 53 80-1086
Dragon 55 80-1087 

Dragon 21 80-1071

 

The above 4 are not connected with the Crown Condor Exercise aircraft, RAF Tornado GR4's and Swedish Gripens which have been busy "destroying" much of Wales and the Marches so far this week.

 Noted today Monday 13th October at Fairford were the 7 Swedish Gripens as reported before, plus 5 flying RAF Tornados, but also visiting were U2R 80-089, landed 14.00 and 80-093 landed at 15.30, when I left at 17.00 hangar was open, looked good for overnight stay.
   At Brize was the Vulcan, outside doing very loud engine runs, having had an engine replaced.
