Very probably, yes. There are several currently deployed at RAF Fairford...

Thanks, my eyes must still be as good but I must try a stronger wine.

According to press reports, 9 x B-52 are due to be at Fairford in the next few days.

Unless, of course, it was looking for Farnborough - eh Westie?

Its to cover the post referendum period........if we vote out!

According to some, that will signal the start of World War Three?

Well if it's Swindon they're after they could do a few £100Ms worth of improvements.

It's 9 BUFF's. Much like Chuck Norris, they go where they want, when they want.

One announced for a Fly-by at the upcoming RAF Cosford Airshow. A bit of a coup. Hoping they may still be around for RIAT.....

Won't need much to destroy Swindon, most of it has been knocked down already. Mind you with Brighton they may have 'alternative' targets.
