Regarding the MB-57

Cheers for that Moggy, but do you or anyone else for that matter know the departure time, why is it here, does it fly during the day and is it parked up near the EC-135’s, I’m working at home for the next couple of days so a little drive up the road is a distinct possibility, the last time I saw a B-57 was probably about 40 years ago.
Has the NASA presence got anything to do with the fact that there is an astronaut and cosmonaut lecture tour of the UK at the moment, one of the cosmonauts, and I’m led to believe that it’s Leonov, the first man to walk in space, is giving a lecture to my stepson’s year at Tabor High School, Braintree at the end of the month, followed by a parents talk in the evening, can’t wait, doubt wether I dare wear my Soviet pilots dress cap though, what will it be worth on E-Bay if I get it autographed.
Will the MB-57 come back for Leg-Ends.

“EC-135s” ? Do you mean RC-135s. The EC-135 went way back in 1998!
