IL76 at Mildenhall???

[JEM60]

IL76 into Mildenhall today.
Sitting on sun lounger near Bury St. Edmunds, 13.15BST to day. IL76 floats majestically past at about 3,000 feet, heading east. I watched it to see which way it turned, either for Stansted or Mildenhall, and it turned left into the Mildenhall circuit. Anybody any ideas for it's presence there???

RA-76950 headed north over Portsmouth earlier today; possibly that one?

PAPERTIGER. Coincidence department, or what. You will find this bizarre, but absolutely true.
I couldn't get off my lounger and go and find out, because on one side of me was my wife, and on the other side, whilst this Soviet transport whistled past, was a beautiful woman friend of ours from the former Soviet Union [Tblisi, Georgia], who, perhaps even more bizarrely, has the christian name of her former cold war enemy, NATO, [pronounced Nahto]!!!

Came from Bamako in Mali, and left to Stockholm, interesting as I noted a Miami Air 738 went thru Mildenhall to Bamako a few weeks ago! Any connection there?

US forces have a presence in Bamako: U.S. forces train African armies - Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/may/13/us-forces-train-african-armies/)

Don't know what the Swedish connection is though. Weaponry ?

Could be ferrying for it's next loaded sector from Sweden.
