Few snaps from my garden off to the south of Leeds of RAF C-17 ZZ173 on approach to Leeds/Bradford. Did three missed approaches none of which allowed me to get a photo due to the low cloud. By the time it made its final landing approach the clouds had moved on. However at a cost as the photos were taken in a gale with a squally shower and blossom from the trees blowing all over......

see this over the top today. As a guess its a USAF or USN C130J. OTT of east London/Essex few hours ago couldn't post earlier as site seemed to have gone down.

This one is the Polish? CN235 inbound to Biggin a few months ago.

That was my guess (or Pakistan Air Force given the lack of photo clarity), thanks for confirming it.
