Did anyone manage to catch the serials of the pair of French Xingus that landed about 11:15?

Much appreciated, sam

Xingu's have been coming in weekly, sometimes every two weeks and sometimes more than once a week, to Doncaster (formerly RAF Finningley) since last summer, 2016. The suggestion is that they need customs/ immigration checks and with Waddington closed Doncaster might be better (closer/quicker) than going down to Coningsby?
