C130 out of Northolt today
Did anyone see the nationality of the C130 that left Northolt circa 16.30 today?
|
It was Tunisian. Heard it passing my house on its way in, bit too cloudy to see but it showed up on ADS-B Tracker. Happened to notice it again on ADS-B on it's way home.
|
Thanks for the info. An interesting visitor.
|
Probably dropping off a few ventilators......
|
Over in Reigate, Surrey, I also heard a rumble in the skies, turned on the plane finder app to see that the Tunisian C130 passing over at 15,000ft but unfortunately above the cloud base for my eyes. Serial Z21012 C130H built 1985.

The inbound track had it coming from northern Italy

Whilst 'exercising' in her allotment in Burgess Hill (south of Gatwick) the other day my daughter thought she saw a C130 at LL. As we used to have a LL route round there at one time perhaps it was using that. Anyone any ideas ?

The Qatari C-17 has been flogging around Europe/Middle East for a while, generally uses a LHOBXXX callsign. https://www.flightglobal.com/picture.../88396.article

Turkish AF A400 went into Brize yesterday morning and, according to the Telegraph, was delivering a supply of PPE.
A video on Youtube suggests that the Tunisian AF C-130 at Northolt was picking up some stranded Tunisian citizens. |
Tunisian C-130 was here to pick up passengers,around 60 in total

2 further Qatar AF C-17s departed Frankfurt on the 10th to destinations in Italy and probably en route back home. |

There was also a Qatar Air Force C-17 that came into Stanstead from Italy yesterday, and then left yesterday afternoon and headed out to the south-west north of Brize and then out over South Wales and south-west out over the Atlantic.
Maybe not the one in question, but there was a Herc flying (very) low level around Southern England the other day |

It looks like he did some Beach Landings at Pembrey Sands as well as lots of low-level work! :D

They should draw something more appropriate,like `WASH YOUR HANDS`,.STAY INDOORS,or Do as you are told.....```should sort out a bit of navigation....
|
Saudi Hercs are often a regular at EGNX, not seen for a while though.
