AN-124 RAF Waddington 30.9.23

Post by reaper493 » Sat Sep 30, 2023 9:34 am

Arriving this morning was AN-124-100, UR-82008 calling Antonov 5724.

Two fish eye shots for now, one cropped. Will add some more once I've gone through them of it on the ground.

RAF photog's were present so maybe they will officially announce what was on it at some point.

Given it came from Victorville, a drone I would think.

First protector UAV for the RAF
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

GA ASI "X'ed" about it yesterday, so I'm not really sure it needs the secret squirrel!
