One of 2 currently based out of Fairford, Exercise Sabre Strike I think it's called.

Would loved to have seen that

[paintman]

Two of them went over Finedon (Kettering) heading East whilst I was working there last Saturday afternoon so I presume they would be the two referred to.

Technically.....it's 8 great trails of fumes (but they go 2into1 very soon after they exit the tailpipes)

And the H models use the cleaner buring TF33 turbofan engines, the old J57 turbojets in the older G and earlier models were REALLY dirty

I am told by a local source that B1's are arriving today.

The former. Been talked about on Social Media for months.
Same happened last year, but no "Bones" then.

Something very loud flew directly over our house around 10:30 yesterday morning, the B-2s flew the same path last year so assumed it was USAF.

ADS-B gave no result, which was a first for me.

B52s are not equipped, too old. Not sure about B1s off top of my head.

I'm in Hilperton, sadly just a bit too much cloud where I am to see them. Loud though!
