OOA AAR Fleet on the move?

heard a rumour today that the 40yr old queen of the sky fleet, currently plying its trade in a hot sandy place, is to relocate to another, far more 'westernised' hot sandy place in the coming months?

any truth?

Oh it would be nice now wouldn't it??! But doubt we gonna move anywhere else. Anyway where we are is westernised, and countrynised and if you like both you could have a country AND westernised, or the occasional salsa lesson. Thats if you aint had enough of Bingo!

"Why is everyone whispering and talking in code?"

Probably something to do with 'communicating information which may be of use to the enemy'?

Shhhh....

BEagle,
Perhaps you can persuade Main Building to do a 'Jackonicko' and remove the web site

Security isn’t a dirty word,
on the other hand crevice…

I don't care if this is a rumour network. No one is to say the B word ! It's taken long enough for that lot to get over it. There will be blubbing galore if we dig up memories of old for them

oh ok then.....if you must know.....it rhymes with marhain

well, if what i heard is true, which has a lot to do with another aging fleet no longer requiring topping up, then the b word will be in use again.

Hopefully some old acquaintances will be dropping in for more than 3 tins again then! If any of the old codgers are still up for it.

Beagle look on any open source regarding basing for tankers in middle east it's no secret! Raf news covered the move from B to d in the first place! why would you move back there?
225 turbo am afraid you are way off the mark regarding another ageing fleet needing no top ups, the ageing fleet I think you are talking about is and will continue to be needing topups for a long time to come (I am afraid) and am not talking about it's teapots!
