Only problem with that Andy, E33115 & RCH2112 both came MAM>DIKAS, so unless AMC is refering to this route im at a loss to what he had seen. I suspect RCH3604 was at least one of them, this defo took the OTBED?>MAM route. Not even any RAF C17A up in that timeframe. Maybe a mix up with GMT and ZULU? or is that the same at the mo?

12:23 AE07DE 93-0604 Reach 3604 C-17A Lakey > Calda > Dolas > navpi >
No other C17's was on SBS at that time, apart from some an hour or so before and an hour or so after, However, not all C17's use SBS all the time, every now and again there will be one or twe routing over without showing on SBS, so always best to listen and get call sign.
SBS is good..very good, but its not always the whole picture. :study:
