It's a Beech 350 I believe having looked into it. Thus making it a Shadow R1 in military terms.

It's mentioned here - http://www.dtvmovements.co.uk/Info/Stats_mil11.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Shadows and Nimrod use Vulcan call sign out of waddington. With the Nimrod not flying at the present time then i would say it would be a Shadow. Possibly ZZ418 as he was out and about yesterday using this call sign.

These slips are a fairly common thing to happen, especially as the Shadows normally operate under WIDGET callsigns.

VULCAN is a Waddington station callsign, the Nimrods used to regularly operate as VULCAN51 and VULCAN52.

correct with the 3 letter ICAO callsign abbreviation of 'WAD'
