There was what looked to be a KC-135 circuit bashing this afternoon, I assume it was a Mildenhall machine but can anyone confirm?

Hi,

Chinook is calling vortex 529 and has landed. Anyone know whether the shadow was ZZ416 or ZZ419 being delivered?

Shadow is the RAF name for the new Beech King Air surveillance aircraft, which is still undergoing company trials with Raytheon at Harwarden (Chester) Think RAF have three on order and they will operate alongside the Sentenial's of 5 sqn. Thinking it would be nice to reform another RAF squadron maybe 56 sqn 'Firebirds' ?
