Sjoerd,

Saw the Dutch depart Saturday morning, but without support.
I'm guessing that the went somewhere "nearby" for at least a couple of days.

That would mean a second Green Flag as they were participating in the last one at the same time
as they were in the RF. Seeing that they are there with almost the whole sqn, is no surprise.
Next green Flag is : Feb. 15 - March 1

There are rumours that they will divert to Lakenheath due to bad weather at Spang
