Paid a quick visit to Stansted this morning to catch the Orbis MD-10, with the sun and the weather playing ball!!

nice ones Dan, great to catch up with you again this morning.

You didn't miss a lot a Lakenheath and even less at Mildenhall!

Thanks!!

From all accounts, it is parked on the diamond ramp, near the engine test bay. Apparently not photograph-able as far as I know... your best bet will be on its departure - whenever that is!!

That's correct Dan, it on the left side of the diamond hangar ramp, visible from northside but not photographable I'm afraid.

I've seen one quote of the departure date as 22nd at 08.00 but no other times to confirm or dispute that. If I seen any updates I'll post it here but I will be away from 17th to 20th (although I might be able to get on line at times). also if it moves elsewhwere on the airport between now and then and becomes photographable I'll post it here too.
