RAF/Air Tanker A330 over UK today 26 0CT 11

[Out Of Trim]

Casa016 Operating out of Madrid routed north to UK passing just SE of Brize Norton at FL360 then out to the North Sea ARA where it descended to around FL200. I guess, playing with some Fast Jets?

I watched that on Radar24 about 40 mins ago as was curious what the aircraft was-didnt think RAF showed up on Radar 24-it is circling in the North Sea now-interesting

[Groundloop]

didnt think RAF showed up on Radar

Are the RAF now only operating 100% with stealth aircraft then?

I'm assuming you mean the RAF doesn't show up on Radar24.

It isn't with the RAF yet. Casa016 means it is being operated by EADS Military. It's still in the pre-delivery testing stage.

Very Good-well spotted -error corrected
The last bit solves the mystery then!
Its still having fun in the North Sea

It appears to either have landed and taken off or have done a touch and go somewhere in Norfolk after doing it's stuff in the North Sea. Mildenhall ?

It looked to me like it landed at RAF Marham from the radar 24 screen about 10 mins ago

[D120A]

I do hope that's not so they can give the probe tips back to the Tornado engineers...
