Bahrain Defence Force C-130 just overflew, either out of Mildenhall or Cambridge... tried for a pic, couldn't get the damn camera to focus. Bloody automated technology!

Nice to see an RAF Herc low level over Purley/Kenley from the west this evening - looks like he did a touch and go at Biggin; we had a nice view of him cranking round after the T&G, I wondered for a second if he'd do a "Mach Loop" down the Godstone Road valley; another turn over Biggin then back over us and westwards back to Brize - he is still doing circuits there now! A little treat...

C-17 looking like it's going to nip into Gatwick...
A full stop on 08L - following a go around at Yeovilton and a touch and go at Hurn.

Had a peer out of my bedroom window as I can usually see the eastern end of the Biggin stack from there and reckoned he might be visible, but he must have been below 10000' by then...

Funnily enough I was walking back down the hill and noticed it was outbound - got a nice view of it this time!
