OTT/Local
09:12L - 96-1008/RCH435 (C-130H Hercules/USAF) Heading SE @19k ft -tracked over Formby>Wign

It coasted in between Southport and Formby according to adsbexch but not seen by me from Lytham. I was staring at blue sky at rough location where I have seen them before (occasionally) but no luck. Sometimes they stick out like the proverbial but at other times seen to become invisible. Low sun to east and light grey don't help. They route to sth of IoM from Aldergrove before hdg east/ESE. A more direct track would obviously take them further nth and probably over the Fylde. RCH435 was given direct MAMUL @ 0911Z.
There was another one 96-1006/RCH604 [ADFEA9] ahead of it which again tracked between Formby & Southport @ 0841Z, FL230. Again didnt see it.
Yesterday am there were 3 inbound from NI on similar tracks, but not seen so I didn't bother reporting them (in order 94-6701/93-7312/94-6702).
