Casa016 Operating out of Madrid routed north to UK passing just SE of Brize Norton at FL360 then out to the North Sea ARA where it descended to around FL200. I guess, playing with some Fast Jets? :ok:

I watched that on Radar24 about 40 mins ago as was curious what the aircraft was-didnt think RAF showed up on Radar 24-it is circling in the North Sea now-interesting:)

didnt think RAF showed up on Radar
Are the RAF now only operating 100% with stealth aircraft then?:ok:
I'm assuming you mean the RAF doesn't show up on Radar24.
It isn't with the RAF yet. Casa016 means it is being operated by EADS Military. It's still in the pre-delivery testing stage.

It appears to either have landed and taken off or have done a touch and go somewhere in Norfolk after doing it's stuff in the North Sea. Mildenhall ?

It looked to me like it landed at RAF Marham from the radar 24 screen about 10 mins ago

I do hope that's not so they can give the probe tips back to the Tornado engineers...:E
