C130 doing circuits at Guernsey airport this morning. Short fuse (C1?) very dark paint, no visible markings, but presume RAF?
Quite unusual occurrence - we don't get many military visits.

MFTS aircraft

The replacement for Tucano might be the Texan, PC21 or some other type. My Italian friends tell me the M311 is in the running. Would that be for Tucano replacement or something else?
