Cheers Callum1998, so that makes it a U.S. Marine Corps KC-130?

The callsign gives it away. A run-down of the USMC C-130 squadron callsigns as follows:-

VMGR-152 = "SUMO"...based in Japan, so unlikely to hear/see over here.
VMGR-252 = "OTIS"
VMGR-352 = "RAIDER"
VMGR-452 = "YANKEE" or "YANKY"
VMGR-234 = "RANGER"

Hope that helps,

Bob
