CommentReturning from a mission over Iraq. Apparently there are no Eurofighters accompanying it on it's way back. Either the infuriatingly inconsistent trackers missed them or they're just not there. It actually looks like Biggles is just as surprised and decides to hang around, treading water as it were, before landing at Akrotiri hoping for the EUFIs to show up.
