C130 ZH879 was in the circuit last afternoon as well today.
I'll have a few beers and then re-read to see if the statement makes more sense?
I was in town today and watched the C130 through the broken cloud

FAF6441/FAF6442 landed at around 16:25. First to land had E107 on the tail and the second E170. Unfortunately I lost track of which aircraft was using which callsign :Oops:

Did you read off 107? It's just its been reported as 105 on various tracking sites, of course these aren't always 100% correct.

According to EGXW info on twitter, 6441 was 105 and 6442 was 170.
