Hercules at Heathrow today?
I thought I saw an unusual visitor to Heathrow this afternoon - anyone able to confirm a Herc at about 14:20 Z?

Was it RAF?

Cheers

Not at work today, but we sometimes get an Air Algerie L100 Herk in. Might have been what you saw.

It was RAF C-130 inbound to Royal Suite, departed 5 mins later to Liverpool John Lennon! Had the pleasure of clearing it for take off to my home town...

Cheers!

A dark colour Herky bird was on approach to 09R last Saturday (17th) at about the same time - is this a regular service? Maybe it takes Tony Booth (Tony Bliar's dad-in-law) to his favourite Scouseland boozer.

Guys, guys, guys!

We've been down this road before on the LBA thread.
RAF Herc at major airport, doesn't stay long, hmmm wonder what that could be?

Do you think it could be another one of those Compassionate flights?
