Thanks all. I've updated the list.


A few questions:

The Qatar support on 22mar. Can anyone confirm there were 2 C-17's at Souda Bay?

Does the USS Enterprise plays any role in the Libyan conflict (yet)?

This message states that USS Enterprise is in the Arabian Sea, where she and her escort disrupted a pirate attack.

DJ,

Only 2 crossed the pond. Other 2 were back-ups.... Serials were given at the tanker.

Oscar, got a PM saying that only Bone36 was a spare and never crossed the Atlantic. Other 3 did.
Tankers were Ethyl 10 (63-8872), 11 (58-0107) and 12 (62-3498) out of Bangor.

Is this correct?
