Interesting, from their website:
The MOD have made available fifteen seats on each of the flights to and from Ascension and the UK, following the resumption of the Airbridge on 08 May 2023 .
just a little over a week ago travel resumed here, tomorrow is acension Day.
I wonder where it was heading. And interesting that it was spotted, assuming this is the first flight since, two days after the Durham report.
It could be flying to st. Helena Island, as per the website:
"It is possible to travel to Ascension Island via St Helena by a monthly charter service operated by AirLink. This operates as an extension of the regular Airlink service between South Africa and St Helena."
it is possible that this was a scheduled monthly flight.
I agree that today is Ascension in the west and that that’s likely the relevant date, but keep in mind that the Orthodox Paschal cycle is a week later than the western cycle this year (they’re calculated independently using different rules), so there’s another Ascension next week, and that’s the one that would apply to Russia and Ukraine.
