Hi all. Could any of you identify this aircraft spotted at a relatively low level flying north past Oxford railway station at 17.50 today.(17Jul22)?

My daughter took it on her phone as she was getting on her train, so she apologises for the poor quality :)

Cheers!

RAF C-17 ZZ175 was passing Oxford inbound to Brize Norton at that time according to playback on FlightRadar 24.

Kawasaki C-2 of the JSDAF ? Or a Brazilian AF KC-390, both of which are in the local area at the moment.

Thanks for the replies!

Showed my daughter and she was pretty certain it was this one - identified above.
The times definitely match, so it seems your detective work has been successful!
