C-17 Blackpool
I've just been wandering around the grounds of castle monkey when a shadow was cast of the west wing, when I looked up it was a C-17 legs down on finals to Blackpool...
Any ideas? my initial thought was a grim one, wondering whether it was bringing back a local soldier in a box, but surely that would have gone to Lyneham?
Thoughts? or do I sound like a bit of a spotter?

Any idea what the TriStar was doing parked at Dakar when I arrived there at dark o'clock this morning?! Always good to see some other Brits in this part of the world.. it's usually BMed though!

Saw him myself a couple of weeks ago over M6 Junction 31 then he turned left towards Warton/Blackpool. No idea what he was up to.

I spotter this whilst I had the family down at Blackpool for a brief-and-noisey holiday last week...I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me (thousands of Tory MPs swarming all over the Wintergardens, *and* a loose C-17?? I thought it was maybe a mass evac plan to take them all out to Diego Garcia to plan the 'election'....Lady Thatcher could have followed-on as wingman in that Eurocopter air ambulance they had buzzing about the Prom
