Over on UKAR they're saying that they're V-22B's over here on a feasibility study to see if they can replace the MH-60's.

Apparently they'd need new dispersals and facilities built at Mildenhall to have them there. It'd make things a tad more interesting up there, at least.

I did think about going up there tonight to see them, but figured it'd be a) ridiculously busy in the spotting locations and B) i'd only be looking at a few shots of anti-collision lights for my trouble.

No-one ever seems to know why the SJ Eagles are where they are.

They're called the "Worldwide Aerospace Expeditionary Force" and seem to end up all over the place - they operate out of "undisclosed locations" apparently.

Simon - the SJs were here because their tanker to take them on to Keflavic broke, and so they were stuck here for a while.

Think there was also a temporary grounding after the LN F-15E crash in Libya, so they got caught up in that, which prolonged their stay?
