These two B-52 are flying a Mission for execersice Baltops 2012 in lithuania see here
Appearantly global power mission, so not landing in UK

However, I have seen reports they have been refueling with Quid's but nothing thereafter. Not sure if they diverted to Fairford. Field is/was Notamed open for today. Can imagine Fairford is availabe as alternate if something might happen during AAR

With regard to B-1's : on Boomer freq they did not refer to their atc callsigns but Quid's were Tanker 1 & 2 & B-52's were Bravo xx This MIGHT explain rumours about B1's , Credit Milscanners
