Looked like some sort of Mil 707, too long for KC135 and engines looked too slender, no big radar dish visible either ; EC135 of some sort?. I haven't seen a 707 of any shape or form for years except up in the high 30s Flight levels. So very intrigued? it wasnt on FR24. Does anyone on here have any ideas? Tks Pax B
Pictures coming from Fairford show at least a couple of C-135s there for RIAT.
