RAF Mildenhall 02.02.2022 16.00 hours approx
Hi,
Made a quick call in at Mildenhall late yesterday afternoon at approximately 4 pm on my way back home from viewing the Spitfire collection at Duxford which became a bit of a rushed event due to failing light and a desire to beat the main rush on the A14/A1. I managed to log 5 KC-135s 80089, 80125, 91470, 23540, 23551, the WC-135W 61-2667, 2 of the 5 Hercules 35776, 35778. Therefore can anyone please help with the identities of the 2 RC-135s, the 4 CV-22s, the 3 other Hercules, the 2 Puma's and the other one or two KC-135s parked up at the time. Bit of a long shot that anybody else was in situ at the time but any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
