For the readers that are not familiar with TAD numbers, could you give the frequencies instead? Besides that, I thought it was not allowed to mention TAD numbers?

I thought it was allowed to post TAD numbers, but not the frequency that is related to it..

Yep, the reference TAD-xyz may be used freely, but the according frequency remains secret. Although I have seen TAD lists around the Internet a while ago. Dunno if they change the freqs often

taken from UKAR

VAMPIRE 11 came overhead me at 26,000ft enroute to Holland on a Global Power Demo this this morning. He said he route back shortly after. Apparently on the way back he descended to 6000ft overhead Lakenheath.
He later came back overhead me again roaring nicely even at 26,000ft RTB Moron AFB, Spain.
Supposed to have been two but one went tech, so both are coming back tomorrow.... so heads up Lakenheath overhead and of course Holland!
Routing is Moron AFB - Begas - Gapli - Lands End - Yeovilton - Brize Norton - Westcott RC - Marham - NAVPI - MC9 then Holland, then RTB via same route, lower over Lakenheath possibly again before climbing back up to 26,000ft.

TRA7 and 8 are close by.

Due to a Global Power mission they probably don't care about some miles more or less!

My suggestion would be a very low pass at the 'Veteranendagen' at EHSB,
(after they did at PALO, off course...

)

Being a global power mission, I wonder what this proves.
From Spain to The Netherlands and one out of four manages to make it. Not entirely global power projection.
