A four-engined jet aircraft (KC-135?) flew over Portknockie just after 1100hrs this morning, heading north. She was flying at about 1,000'. Once over the sea she banked to port so I thought she was heading into Lossiemouth (she was soon lost in the cloud). Anyone else saw this or knew what it was?

Sorry, missed the entry! I was looking for aircraft type first, not serial number (which obviously was not visible at 1,000')!
