Speaking of Beech 350s there came past a US Army example earlier today, pics showing it to be rather warty... MC-12S the designation. Enroute Keflavik-Prestwick-Ramstein.

Busy over the N Norfolk coast at 0930ish this morning..A B-52 ,c/s Spicy 21 flying North with two USAF KC135s and a RAF Rivet Joint in the same vicicinity.
Anyone know what the loud C-130 was that flew over London at 9am and 11.30am (approx) today ? Didn't show up on any tracker app and curiosity is killing the cat ;-)

Didn't hear them (Tuesday morning pub coffee-fest) but the MC-130Js out of Mildenhall are sometimes rather furtive (but not inaudibly so...)

I saw it, and as you say it didn’t show up on my favourite tracker, but it looked like it was climbing out of the Mildenhall area? Another one went over a couple of minutes ago, similar level and track. That did show up and originated from Mildenhall, although I think it’s a Ramstein aircraft?

Noticed a Congolese PC-12 heading relentlessly north out of Girona - possibly Wick for a night stop? Had to look up 9S-!
How can you explain to the green brigade, that SQ21 (350) is flying overhead & along the English Channel on its 18hr 30 min journey EWR to SIN, other days westbound towards Anchorage? ☹️

Was just watching through binoculars a Voyager at 13000 passing south of me, I assume Brize-bound,.
My attention was caught a couple of minutes later to a VERY red high-flyer trailing towards Reading.
Checked FR24, it's a Play A320 to Mallorca, but it was SO red, I thought at first it was reflecting the setting sun.
I don't think I've ever seen such a totally all over deep red airplane before.

Black S-76 G-XXEB just landed at Reybridge, near Corsham having flown from London.
Is Your Husband Secretly Looking At Pictures Of World War 2 Planes On The Internet? Know The Warning Signs
CHRISTIAN LIVING·Sep 13, 2022 · BabylonBee.com
It's a tale that's all too common for marriages these days: things seem to be going great, with love and romance in the air, when suddenly, the husband begins to withdraw. He's more on edge, less interested in intimacy, and only perks up when someone brings up the differences between early P-51 Mustangs and the more common P-51D variant.
Is your husband secretly looking at World War 2 planes on the internet? You should learn the warning signs:
If your husband exhibits any of these signs, it's time for him to get help, and the two of you should consider marriage counseling, before it gets worse and he starts looking at pictures of old wooden ships, classic muscle cars, or - God forbid - 19th-century locomotives.

He's more on edge, less interested in intimacy, and only perks up when someone brings up the differences between early P-51 Mustangs and the more common P-51D variant.Is your husband secretly looking at World War 2 planes on the internet? You should learn the warning signs:
- He slams the laptop lid closed when you walk in and shouts, "I wasn't admiring the sleek twin-boom design of the P-38 Lightning, I swear!" - Not conclusive, but it's a hint. Keep looking for the other signs.
- His Facebook ads are filled with suggestions for impossibly gorgeous model B-17 bombers - The algorithm doesn't lie. His search history is obviously filled with searches for the Memphis Belle and the Piccadilly Lilly II. How are you supposed to live up to those beauty standards?
- He only looks at you with lovey-dovey eyes when you dress up like a Spitfire Mk IX - The costume you can handle, but when he asks you to imitate the sound of the powerful 1,660-horsepower Merlin 61 engine, it's just too much to handle. It's time for him to get help.
- When you drive by the local air museum, his eyes linger a little too long on the beautifully restored P-40 Warhawk complete with that stunning shark mouth nose art - Remember when he used to look at you like that? Eyes up here, honey!
- You guys are fighting more often, with him criticizing you using hurtful statements like, "Why can't you work harder and be more reliable, like a Messerschmitt Bf 109?" - Ouch. It's time for you to leave him until he gets the help he needs.
If your husband exhibits any of these signs, it's time for him to get help, and the two of you should consider marriage counseling, before it gets worse and he starts looking at pictures of old wooden ships, classic muscle cars, or - God forbid - 19th-century locomotives.

What's that loud noise? A400 from Malta inbound Northolt, straight over the top. By the way, where have all Antonovs gone?
Tdracer -
Got an 19th century railway (course of) at the bottom of my garden - the locomotives were horses!
