Daily Express YouTube channel alternates between live coverage of aircraft activity at RAF Fairford and events in Tehran

[mahatmakanejeeves]

That's my take.

B-1 and B-52 bombers from various Air Force bases in the continental United States are currently operating out of the RAF Fairford air base near Swindon, England. A motorway runs right past the end of the runway, and planespotters by the dozen have set up cameras to monitor activity.

Weather recently at Fairford has been so dreary that three B-1s had to divert to Ramstein, Germany. That wasn't enough to keep the planespotters away. I don't think there's a time when at least one is not on duty. The skies are clear today.

If nothing's going on at RAF Fairford, the channel switches over to a feed from downtown Tehran. If guess that's Tehran. I can't imagine what else it would be. Smoke is rising from something.

This is not an endorsement of the war, just a look at how it's being carried out.

1. Thanks for posting this.

2. That might not be live in the sense that I think of something as live.

Maybe this channel will wake up again, but they've had the same three-hour clip there for several hours. So, not "live" live. The live part might come back later.

Better, but no bombers?

3. Please, do not give any credence to anything from the Daily Express. On any subject.

It's a tabloid run on a shoestring, that frequently talks complete bollocks. If they're using footage, that means they've already paid someone for it, and they're damned if they're not going to get their money's worth, regardless of whether it means anything.
