About to go overhead(2125) heading Southeast and I can clearly hear it as I type this-
US Marine Corp KC-130J, 165739(Raider 47) at 25000'. It has crossed the Atlantic having departed Portsmouth International , New Hampshire
Bet the crew will be ready for a good nights sleep when they land, as it departed Portsmouth 13 hours ago!!!!

Descending into Mildenhall.
Just been looking of details about the KC-130J and it is a "ship". Has a range of 4.275 miles and carries 5 different weapons systems.

About to fly directly overhead at 1005-

Not visible but flying overhead is a US Navy Boeing C-40A clipper 165832 from Naples to Unknown.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Looks like we have an airbus kc2 voyager( a330) out of brize norton due to pass over us in next 10mins

US Navy C-12T 84-00144(PAT 144) overflew around 4 miles West of LBA(1530) routing from Venice to Prestwick

Similar type 84-00182(PAT 182) also from Venice to Prestwick is just crossing the Lincolnshire coast so if it follows the same routing it will be in the area of Leeds around 1615 at a guess

 

[twevsmiff]

"German Air Force 246", a Transall, overflew at 1010 flying at 22.000' and was very audible, heading Northwest. It had departed Nordholz and I assume was heading to Prestwick as a similar type did on Tuesday. No serial showing on radar.

Maybe not Prestwick, as it has now heading Northeast towards Newcastle

 

[twevsmiff]

Glasser-Dirks DG-800A G-ORIG(Glider 345) entering zone(1225), to operate over Leeds City Centre at or below 5000' for around 15 minutes
