Stealth bomber just went over Cheltenham.
Bit unusual to see one outside the states. Or even see one at all.
I guess it's being sent "just in case" the Ukraine situation goes wrong. Our more wrong, maybe.
Can't be a very good one if you saw it...
Any airshows about maybe?
What was it? B2?
Two landed at Fairford. RIAT is in four weeks time so a little early for that.
Two deployed to RAF Fairford as per press release below:
“This deployment of strategic bombers provides an invaluable opportunity to strengthen and improve interoperability with our allies and partners,” said Adm. Cecil Haney, commander, US Strategic Command in a USAF statement. “The training and integration of strategic forces demonstrates to our nation’s leaders and our allies that we have the right mix of aircraft and expertise to respond to a variety of potential threats and situations.”
Apparently their call signs are Death 11 and Death 12!

Ahh a PR makers delight 😆
Death 11 and Death 12!
I'm sure they will only be used to covertly drop UN aid packages to hungry refugees and the like...
