Hi, :)

On February 15th we had a flight of 5 RAF Tornados, but it was supposed to be 10. One Tornado of the second wave had serious problems when departed and needs to land in Mildenhall.
The Tornados of February 15th.

ZA613/075 Ascot9721 Dep. to USA on February 16th as Ascot 9721
ZD890/113 Ascot9722 Dep. to USA on February 23th as Ascot 9741 (Stay in Lajes with some problems)
ZA462/027 Ascot9723 Dep. to USA on February 16th as Ascot 9722
ZA458/024 Ascot9724 Dep. to USA on February 16th as Ascot 9723
ZD788/098 Ascot9725 Dep. to USA on February 16th as Ascot 9724

Support by L1011 ZD953 Ascot9302

The next day (Feb.16th) arrived 4 Tornados plus a VC10 as Tanker. Four of five Tornados leave lajes to USA.

February 16th.

ZD850/111 Ascot9726 Dep. to USA on February 17th as Ascot 9724
ZA406/015 Ascot9727 Dep. to USA on February 16th as Ascot 9725
ZA400/011 Ascot9728 Dep. to USA on February 17th as Ascot 9727
ZD719/085 Ascot9726 Dep. to USA on February 17th as Ascot 9728

Support by VC10 XV106 Ascot9301.

I'm not sure if this list is 100% right, but I think it is.

Also movements in Lajes:

:arrow: GLF5 USAF 01-0076 February 15th
:arrow: P3C USN 162316 February 17th
:arrow: CC130J CANAF 130609 February 19th
:arrow: C12C USAF 83-0495 February 19th

Anyone knows where this C12 is based?

Best Regards!
