C5 plus escort

About 1700L a C5 plus escort was tracking northish at about 5000', north of Cheltenham, then did a 180 and was tracking south south east. The escort had an unswept wing - but what was it?
And I'm assuming it's to do with The Donald?

Canadian C-17 arrived at Fairford a little after 1700, possibly that?

That would fit, if I mis-identified the C5 (very possibly). But I'd still like to know what its little escort ship was...

I did notice it on ADSB and there was something else around but I can't recall what! ADSB doesn't do replays... :{

Possibly the Skyvan that has been acting as photo-platform for air-to-air shots of RIAT participants as they arrive.
