    That’s great, Steve. Thanks very much. I know it can’t be easy operating under the constraints imposed upon you.

    ’ll use this page as my primary source of info. When publicising the repatriations, I always mention that times are subject to change at little or no notice, so anyone intending to go to Wootton Bassett should at least be aware of the risk of that happening.

    Thanks again.

    I hope that this site is as up to date as is possible considering the constraints we have, I will Always update the times on this site should the need arise up to 3 hours prior to the Repat, at that time I am there so am unable to alter it, So in answer - Yes I do think this is one of the more up to date & reliable sites, Regards Steve

    Hi Steve. Thanks very much for your sterling work in publicising the repatriations. I depend heavily on your information to pass the word by Twitter, Facebook, my website’s RSS Feed and my blog. My problem is that I also tend to look at RBL’s repatriation page and there are sometimes differences in timings - today being a prime example. Can I take it that your times are the most up to date and that RBL website is a bit slow in being updated? I know that all times are subject to change, but really would like to be able to publicise the absolute latest. Thanks.
