Report in the Guardian that she has had her passport returned and that a negotiating team are in place.

Too early for celebrations but I have got my fingers crossed behind my back.

This is amazing. Am watching Flightradar now.
So wonderful after watching all those Ukraine flights over the past few weeks.

Was watching a female newsreader struggling today to contain her emotion as she read the good news.

Just gone over my house Wine

Stroppypeople · 17/03/2022 00:47

Am lying in bed listening for her plane …flight path right over our house !

TheOnlyMrsMac · 17/03/2022 00:47

23 minutes estimated.

Comfortableatlast · 17/03/2022 00:47

Safe )from everything but Boris the buffoon's ineptitude which compounded her situation in the first place.)

TempNameChangexx · 17/03/2022 00:49

Down to 18,000ft now, so descending
They're nearly home!

There's an RAF plane and a US Air Force plane circling BN - is that the norm or are they up especially (and to achieve what?)

Thoosa · 17/03/2022 00:49

20 minutes. I don’t know why it feels important to sit up until it lands, but it does.

She is now past our village but was just a little bit further north .

TheOnlyMrsMac · 17/03/2022 00:50

16 minutes.

Flight Tracker is amazing. Can see the USAF and RAF planes in the vicinity of Brize Norton as well.

Is that USAF one with no call sign and no info?
TheOnlyMrsMac · 17/03/2022 00:54

13,252 are tracking.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 17/03/2022 00:54

Yes, that one, @Thoosa. Where's it gone?

Thoosa · 17/03/2022 00:55

@SpinningTheSeedsOfLove

Yes, that one, *@Thoosa*. Where's it gone?
Just went, didn’t it? Very secret squirrel.

The RAF one looks to be landing.

Heronatemygoldfish · 17/03/2022 00:55

Going south of us, sadly. I'd have liked to have seen it out the window. Ah well, so wonderful to have good news at last.

DelphiniumBlue · 17/03/2022 00:56

Does anyone know if the arrival of the plane is being filmed anywhere?

bookwitch13 · 17/03/2022 00:57

I love seeing so many people watching her flight on Flightradar24. Looking forward to her landing, so happy for her and family 💐

TheOnlyMrsMac · 17/03/2022 00:57

Can they really only be 10 minutes away from their families and friends after all these years?

Namechange466 · 17/03/2022 00:57

maybe the number 2 tracking RAf plane is carrying Richard and Gabriela?

Thoosa · 17/03/2022 00:58

I’ve got BBC News on to see how they cover it @DelphiniumBlue

I hope they don’t subject her to lights and cameras.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 17/03/2022 00:58

Sky News is showing it

Rhannion · 17/03/2022 00:59

Sky news are covering now and I think it’s just landed now!

@DelphiniumBlue

Not to the best of my knowledge and why should it be, it is not for entertainment.Shock

Happy to see her wheels down, and then after that, leave them to it.
Hmm
