"Cuz their runways are full of ppl queueing up with shopping trolleys waiting to get into nearby Tesco’s  "
Seriously there’s a Sainsbury’s across the car park from where I’m working and at 8am the queue was 300m long. They need a fucking runway to queue down. So much for staying home heh |

They are always landing here, see them overhead at least 3 times a week.
But for the sake of those that need something to talk about, it's because they have theorized that zombies will start coming to life here.
That good enough? |

Perhaps there are soldiers coming back from overseas deployments and they've arranged to be dropped there rather than Brize as it's closer to where they are based while all this disruption is going on? |

all boring routine stuff.
the raf fly to other non military airports in case they ever have to use them. these are familiarisation flights.
taking full advantage of the lack of air traffic to do so. keeps everyone in practice.
no conspiracy, sorry  |

"Training and strategic placement to assist with taking seriously ill people to hospital
That's so sensible  "
The government are going to turn some of the nec into a hospital, like the imex centre in london |

Getting ready for a full lock down - just in case things escalate?
Or perhaps they are preparing to chase any remaining fab members still trying to meet in secrecy (like a Benny Hill sketch with women in stockings and suspenders and the soldiers in formation drill with rifles behind them?!!!) |

C130Js have also landed at London city airport this week. It is routine to practise landing at civillian airports as a continual training routine. This will also be prudent in major crisis areas where expediency is a factor to airlift manpower and equipment in and out. Remember they airlifted ebola victims, it is not a new thing for them. |

It was reported on regional news earlier this week that the nearby NEC could be used as a Field Hospital should the need arise.
Also, Birmingham airport has been designated as a potential Morgue, in which to store overflow dead Coronavirus victims when hospital space runs out.
To add to previous posts too, the RAF have been doing training flights into regional airports in case there's a need to assist distribution networks to supply essential items. |

I expected it might be something rather grim....just hope they are prepared and don’t need to use it. Stay safe people xx |

Surely no coincidence that an heir to the throne is a big Villa fan. Might HRH have pulled strings with his former employers to get "a lift" to their next home game?.... |

"They're building a temporary morgue there, it's just been on the news.
Just like at Excel.... half hospital, half morgue
And the NEC  Worrying times"
It is but preparing for what may be ahead in the cities, it’s needed

that one i can answer with my "east end" knowledge...
Basically London City Airport is just across the other side of the docks from the Excel centre, so they were using it to get the equipment in they needed.... just like Birmingham Airport are doing for the NEC.... |

"Training and strategic placement to assist with taking seriously ill people to hospital "
Agreed it will depend on the type of aircraft ..... im Assuming they are Freight carrying aircraft, as sadly the NEC is a designated Nightinggale Hospital which will be taking COVID patients from all over Uk and Temporary Mass Mortuary and as the Midlands is also large and multi cultural then a lot of victims may need to be repatriated into their own countries ??????????
The military use Robin Hood airport a lot for Touch Down and Take off practice because of the size of runway....it was ex Military Airbase that was used by the large V bombers Vulcans Victors etc fixed Delta wings built in the Midlands and tested at Gaydon, then British Leyland and now JLR test and store i believe ?? |
