Also involved in this exercise are USAF F-35’s operating out of MdeM. This exercise goes on till 28/5.
Hope this info helps somewhat
Many thanks for that.
I spent some of this AM looking at Frightradar wondering what one of the RAF's finest Voyagers was doing heading southbound towards chez nous near Toulouse with a couple of elements (?) of Eurofighters in (very) long trail...things became slightly a bit more clear when the Voyager took up the hold not far from Mont de Marsan...
We were just to far away to spot anything "in the metal" but we've certainly seen some odd contrails blown eastwards from that area this AM ( odd as in stuff going around in circles rather the standard straight line civil air transport stuff).
