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

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?

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.
