Quid43 I believe! Also had two Hercs in over the course of the day, saw what looked like a C4 (could have been a C1 though) on approach and then Ascot521, one of the shorter Hercs, so a C1 or C5, not too much later after the first.

Nice one thanks for the info!
There was another KC-135 later on this evening itmust have been a different aircraft as it didn't have the pods on the wings. Did the hercs hang around or did they overshoot?

Not sure on the shoter Herc, only saw it on approach, but Ascot521 performed a few circuits.

Hi David,
The 135 I saw, flew over the Fire Station on South park at 18:00 heading south west and was clear enough to see the 100ARW 'D' on the tail.

Cheers Phill
