Yes, but not directly - 03 was going off station at 1300Z and routing to Geilenkirchen to collect a part, then flying back to Waddington to deliver the part (ETA 1430Z) then departing to Spangdahlem.

EDIT: NATO03 (ZH101) dep Waddington 1520 for Spangdahlem.

18th Feb 08 - due in 1645Z RAF E3D 'NATO03'
