Small Formation

C130 closely flanked by two King Airs just flown out over North Sea near Trimingham, Norfolk.

Aye assume practicing for QE 11 Birthday Formation. "Never assume anything ! " as my old Ops Manager used to say.

Nevertheless a splendid sight on a lovely day. (Later 1205 hrs) More stuff coming outbound (Sentinel - Rivet Joint - Tornadoes).
