Great stuff, nice to see something out of the ordinary, any idea how long it will be around?

When I first started spotting about 92/93 time there were 2 of these popped into Mildenhall, my first US Navy aircraft, I will never forget the COD.

Nice photos!
I hadn't seen a Trader with the scimitar blade props before.
I suppose all the Trackers must be fitted with them, and now the C-2s are in progress.
