Hi All,

Seen the Farnborough F18 dissapear every night this week far an hour or so? Takes off around 17.30 each evening and then re-appears about an hour later? Passenger flights have been suggested, but I am not so sure.....

Back to Fairford to join the B1B for an evening meal?

Or if it's a USN aircraft is there a carrier in the Channel which it goes back to?

Has been going out every morning this week as well, though I have never been close enough to see how many POB when departing there was only ever the one POB when returning.

Heard a rumour that the pilots were "being invited" to do some low level flights through the Wales MTA,......About an hour or so would seem about the right timescale for doing this,but can't confirm one way or another if this is true
