...a few rumours heard whilst at work today that may be of interest to those here.
The newly delivered Qatari Boeing C-17 (as seen in the picture below) has been said to make a flying visit into see its cousins at 99sqn at some point within the next fortnight. If any further details arise i'll be sure to post them here.
Also rumoured to stop by at Brize within the next 10 days is the initial delivery RAF's A330 FSTA for hangar trials.
Please note: the are rumoured visitations only and I cannot be held responsible for their non-arrival or cancellation! Any further substantiating details will be notified as soon as possible.

I must confess I'd heard a similar rumour a couple of weeks back about the first being "delivered" by the end of the year.....perhaps this is what my source meant?
Be interesting to have some new visitors, best keep my camera at work

update:
Qatari C-17 no longer due. A source advises it stopped at Ramstein on a flight from the US this weekend before its forward flight to Qatar.
