C130 closely flanked by two King Airs just flown out over North Sea near Trimingham, Norfolk.

Aye assume practicing for QE 11 Birthday Formation. "Never assume anything ! " as my old Ops Manager used to say.

Nevertheless a splendid sight on a lovely day. (Later 1205 hrs) More stuff coming outbound (Sentinel - Rivet Joint - Tornadoes).

I saw a C-130 chasing an A-400M earlier across the Northants/Cambs border heading NE

Three separate formations [does 3 aircraft count as a forum?]overhead here in North Lincs about 13:00 heading in general direction of Scampton.
