11:00 looks like Ascot 6818 landed at Keflavik showing as a C-17 43C174 ZZ174

Perhaps the RAf are fulfilling the next Icelandic policing slot?

Mike, have a look in post No2 i think you will find your answer there.

Thanks for that, I somehow missed that post.

If you look at the date of the 2nd post I think it refers to the 1 Sqn jets that were there in late 2019.
