I would like to thank the pilots of that C130.

I was locked in a tense tennis match and was just about to serve when our opponents suddenly stopped, open mouthed and looking over my head. I looked around to see a C130, in a vertical bank pointing straight at me, landing lights on.

It continued the turn and looked as if was giving Wimborne a low flypast. Probably was the fuel depot.

Our opponents never regained their concentration and we won the match.

Thanks guys.

Edited to tell Compass 2:

I gather you are not supposed to call it Hurn
I was coming into EGHH two weeks ago, during HRH visit and heard the plod helicopter requesting clearance to refuel at Hurn.

Controller said that he couldn't give him clearance for that but he was welcome to come into Bournemouth.

Plod says, OK we will come into Bournemouth International Airport
