Just a thought, they may well be C-17s going into Mildenhall but it's worthing considering that if the map with the OP's location is correct he/she is very near the junction of the M25 and the M11. That's 40'ish miles south of Mildenhall, under the London TMA and not a million miles from either Stansted and also the Lamborne hold (for LHR). Running traffic inbound to Mildenhall under the LAM hold ( meaning they'd have to be at or below 5000 feet with > 40 miles to run ) certainly wouldn't be very efficient but not impossible. I'd also be interested in a definitive answer...
