Today I received information from a very reliable source about an Atlas cargo plane that arrived at Brize Norton on Monday and took off again just after midnight. People monitoring its flight path say that its destination was Tel Aviv. I am trying to get clarification as to whether this is the same plane as the previously reported one with Hebrew markings painted in red.
Whether it's the same plane or not, in view of recent events at Prestwick and possibly RAF Mildenhall (bombs passing through the UK for Israel to drop on Lebanon) it is obvious that we need to know more about what is going on. I would like to ask people to spare some time to come out to Brize Norton and monitor the situation, bringing binoculars, cameras etc. Some of you might want to bring banners as well.
Although you can get most of the way to Brize Norton by taking the bus to Carterton, it would be really useful if someone had a car. Please contact me at my email address above, or phone Oxford 770067 (leave a message)

Spokesman for the Swindon group Andy Newman explains: "We are seeing slaughter of civilians on our TV screens, and mass destruction of Lebanese towns, yet the British government is not only failing to press for an immediate ceasefire, but allowing British military air bases to be used to send more missiles to Israel. There is very strong feeling about this, and we want the government to change its mind."
> RAF Brize Norton, just half an hours drive from Swindon was used on Monday night for American flights carrying munitions to Israel. An Atlas Cargo Flight arrived at 9.10pm from Kelly Airforce base at San Antonio and left at Brize Norton at 00.16am on Tuesday on route to Tel Aviv. An Israeli cargo 747 was also at Brize Norton at the same time. Andy Newman said: "By allowing British military bases to be used directly to support the Israeli military Tony Blair has stepped out of the role of honest broker, and is making us an actual military ally of Israel - this must stop."
See you there.
