Now the B-1s have departed, I’ll share some clips over the past few months here in Fairford. This was a one of a kind video as was filmed whilst the area was still locked down to non residents on 29 September

The sun has set on this deployment of the B-1s to Fairford. As posted in July, the plan was originally to depart in September but the past couple of weeks obviously delayed that. Given recent events hopefully we can see some normality around the area and beyond! 🙌🏼

Bit more quiet here after an eventful week and what started as a noisey Sunday as 6 x B-1s have headed back to the US 🙌🏼

First experience of walking down Whelford Road as planes depart with no other people whatsoever Surreal with no 8ft ladders and long lenses in sight! 😅

It’s been a whirlwind but good to be back home. A great reminder of the power of local community the past couple of days. To the aviation folk who follow me (the majority 😂) needless to say huge restrictions around base and will surely be for some time

Would hope and expect some permanent restrictions to be put in place to safeguard the base and local residents ongoing 🤞🏼

Thank you to followers for the wellbeing messages. An unnerving incident to see unfold and very surreal to see our quiet village in the global news. The full details will be shared at some point I’m sure but credit to the vigilance of some and response of police

To add most of what I’ve seen on Twitter is speculation and theorising. What is true is that vigilance of some triggered the response which was extremely fast. Security has needed to be tightened for a while now so one positive from today could be that’s finally put in place

Now it’s reported on publicly. Incident near the base very early in the morning and people arrested which led to being evacuated Will let the details come out publicly but obviously not a good situation but locals safe and no reported injuries.
