Any of you guys seen a C130 based at Gatwick over the past few months. If so do you know the registration and operator?
Thanks

It's been based at LGW for a couple of weeks. It's taken over the Chanex night work. They call themselves Air Contractor using callsign 'Contractor'. Reg is EI-JIV and they're using ABR as a 3-letter prefix.

That aircraft belongs to and is operated by Safair. Subcontracted to AirContractors flown by Safair crews...I think.
I have a feeling it might be DUB based as I used to see a 130 often on my visits there?

has to stay close to s/coast as it doubles up as OSRL Oil Spill Response aircraft.

Its certainly based at LGW at the moment. Heads out to LPL and back most nights.
