Serial Request

[Tiger 1]

Hi everyone

Just wondering if any of you guys can help with a serial tie up for a large white aircraft seen near the Nato E3s this afternoon at Waddington.

I went up to get the Canadians and a slow drive past on the A15 to try and see the Italian G550...as I got near the wave a saw the two Nato E3s by the the Tower and then got a glimpse of the white jet to the right of the Nato E3s but not long enough to ID it... not able to stopand and the wife with me... so on to Lincoln.

The jet was the size of an RAF Airseeker but no black nose... totally white as far as I could tell.

If anyone could ID it please, it would be very much appreciated.

Regards.

Hi Tim,

It was an RC135 - not sure which one!

One E3 pointing south and one north - the RC to the right pointing south.

There is a lot of stuff down that way at the moment so your view may have been obscured.

Have it on fairly good authority that it was ZZ665 that you saw.
