RRR3722/3723 = Arrival/departure flight number
RRR = Ascot / RAF HQSTC (Air Transport)
10:40/12:40 = arrival / departure time
BZZ-AMS-ARN = route - Brize Norton - Amsterdam Schiphol - Stockholm Arlanda
L10 = Aircraft Type = Lockheed L-1011 TriStar

And the "main question"; How long will the RAF keep flying with the L1011 ?

Use of the TriStar will continue beyond a planned July 2013 end date until March 2014, for an additional cost of £7 million, the NAO says. This would be just two months before the AirTanker consortium is scheduled to declare full capability with a new fleet of Airbus A330 Voyagers, three of which are already in use in the passenger transport role.

Thanks for the explanation !
With the expected westerly wind tomorrow, and the runway use today, can someone make an educated guess as to which runway the Tristar will use tomorrow for landing.
And where to go to for taking a picture ?

Thanks for the info, I'm planning to take a look-see as well. Might be the last time to see a RAF Tristar flying...
18R gives enough photo-opportunities. As I don't have internet on my phone, I'm also curious to know the expected departure runway. Would it be 18L or 24?
