⚠️ PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM RAF FAIRFORD FOR NOW ⚠️
As spotters, the last thing we want is to make an already serious situation worse. Please respect any cordons, avoid the area and let the professionals do their job.
Ignoring the situation could have consequences for all of us.

TREND 53-54 Flt supported by BORA 81 heading up through France to the UK this morning.
Likely the two F-22s that have been stuck at Chania for a few weeks. They’ll join the sole remaining F-22 at RAF Fairford.

Continued activity this morning at RAF Fairford, the number of USTRANSCOM flights either arrived or en route has increased to 14, and Air Mobility Command flights now stand at 11. These all primarily originate from Minot, Ellsworth and Dyess Air Force Bases, with exception of 3 C-130s from Ramstein.
There will now have been a passenger Boeing 777 flight from each Ellsworth, Dyess and Minot.
No bombers have arrived overnight or this morning, apart from MOLT 13 which arrived from Ramstein around 2300z.
I have corrected the callsigns of the Atlas Air flights - these should've been GIANT instead of CAMBER.

🚨 UPDATE: The UK has given the US permission to use Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands and RAF Fairford to bomb Iran's missile and drone capability at source

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has given US permission to use UK bases at RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia to launch “defensive” airstrikes against Iran - and destroy its missiles “at source” to prevent them firing across region.
PM: “Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to defend them… And it’s my duty to protect British lives.
“We have British jets in the air as part of coordinated defensive operations which have already successfully intercepted Iranian strikes.
“But the only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source - in their storage depots or the launchers which are used to fire the missiles.
“The US has requested permission to use British bases for that specific and limited defensive purpose.
“We have taken the decision to accept this request to prevent Iran firing missiles across the region - killing innocent civilians, putting British lives at risk and hitting countries that have not been involved.”
