Managed to catch MC-130J Strix 62 (showed as 09-5713 on ADS-B). Cropped a fair bit as I had a 70-200 on the camera. Heading north over Brandon out of Mildenhall earlier this evening.

Quite an RAF BAe 146 day really but started off with this :

Royal Air Force E-3D Sentry AEW.1 (AWACS) arriving from Waddington, doing a single touch and go at East Midlands Airport before returning back to RAF Waddington as NATO30, unfortunately this is the closest it came to me.


Then the first of 2 BAe 146 was Royal Air Force BAe 146 Statesman ZE701 heading past my house from RAF Northolt as NOH39.


The final military movement of the day was Royal Air Force BAe 146 C.3 ZE707 which arrived into East Midlands as NOH11 from RAF Northolt and as seen here, it departed 30 minutes later to London Luton Airport.

Nice one. I managed to see the same aircraft doing laps over Birmingham, I’ll eventually get round to posting pics of it on here.

I've got some photos from the last 2-3 weeks that I'll get round to sharing but I'll start with this, a throwback to an overhead pass from a Chinook that I witnessed in September 2014. I didn’t have freedar or anything like that back then so wasn’t able to make a note of the serial.

This afternoon more CH-47D's were seen crossing Eindhoven CTR for fire fighting duties including D-102 RTB flying as “Viking4” in the last photo.

I noticed that. I think it's soot from the APU exhaust which is forward of the main gear on the port side of the C-130J.
