I had to double take at that, with the white discs on the front of the KC engines I thought it was a Bear for a second :)

Hexcodes as noted on PP are as follows, together with supposed tie-ups:

PANTHR11 - [AE071C] - 91-0327
CASINO42 - [AE27AB] - might be a miscode for [AE17AB] - 91-0311
ANIML011 - [AE2798] - might be a miscode for [AE1798] - 91-0314
HOWLER21 - [AE17A2] - 91-0334

Whether all of this was CASINO flight (of 4) remains to be seen. but in any case, the serial tie-ups are not fully confirmed.

3 from the past two days. I live in South Lincs near to East Kirby/Coningsby

Start with a RAF Voyager ZZ336 from Brize Norton Wednesday lunchtime heading East North East, CV-22 Osprey 11-0057 from Mildenhall Wednesday evening heading North and finally today a US Army Cessna UC-35 99-00102 picked up on the radar coming in off the sea in Dumfries and was last seen heading South East over Dusseldorf.
