[rgml]

Saw the following at Waddington last Sunday Islander landed 13.45. On Monday saw King Airs ZK456/P; ZK459 doing circuits @ 09.55. Two Shadows, 1 in hangar/1 in front of hangar. Two Rivet Joints (ZZ665 & ZZ666 as believe ZZ664 in US atm?!?), Two Sentinals, KC135T 80094/D USAT Mildenhall circuits at 10.00. MD 900 G-SASR. Islander took off 10.55. Shadow took off 11.15/11.30/11.40. (Seen from Harmston).Visited Cranwell then back to Waddington. Shadow G-LBSB circuits @ 13.35. Can anyone confirm the RAF Rivet Joints and help with the Shadows and Islanders? Thanks

All three RC-135s were outside on Friday and Saturday, as for the others not sure at the minute.

ZZ504 flew late morning followed by the Islander/Defender whose serial I missed as I had packed my gear by then . It did not show on ADSB which they usually do so confirmation would help if you can please.
The KC135 was 'Quid 31' and returned to MLD around 10:30.

Had no luck with either of the two RC135W's and pair of Sentinels due to heat haze but ZJ690 and ZJ694 were active before and after that date.
Hope this helps,

I believe the Islander/Defender was ZH002 AAC 595
