CommentSomething odd going on with the CBOW missions. Recently the A330s have regularly been accompanied by an unidentifiable jet transmitting nonsense data. I assume it's a regular Eurofighter but it could just as well be another type of jet like an RAF or even USAF F-35. This A330 -- Biggles -- returns unaccompanied from it's mission over Iraq, a first as far as I can recall.
