C130 Cairngorms

Post by Wolf22 » Mon Jun 25, 2018 12:51 pm

Does anyone know anything about the two c130’s that were extremely low following each other through the valleys around ballater and surrounds, saw them as I was watching an a400 heading to Aberdeen airport at about 13:30 :S

Can't help with the Herc's but the Atlas appears to have been ZM418 c/s COMET 451 which went north through Northumberland , lovely day for the 'coastal castle's run' and is now southbound down the west coast of Scotland .
