Thanks, that fits with the cobwebs of recollection.
Bearing in mind it was pre-covid, perhaps the load-factors/economics were already causing a change in aircraft type on the ICN-LHR route.

Two Belgian F16s obscured by cloud overhead here in N.E. Norfolk as I write........Make that Three - on ADSB at approx 10000ft.......

Now over North Sea at 10000ft following USAF KC135 which is at 12000ft. F16s originated Kleine Brogel Airfield. No longer showing at 0946hrs.

Like bees round a honey pot at 1003 hrs Two F16s and One F15 - must go and work in garden !

USAF C17 (RCH547) just departed BOH. Unusual visitor, don't know where it's going other than East.

Perhaps freighting something naval related into the south coast ?

For afficionados of vintage jetliners, there's a 727-100 VIP headed SE-NW towards Essex presently and descending, perhaps NWI?CAM?STN.

Did a few orbits at altitude in the Bremen area, now heading into Poland.

Odd one
 

VP-BTV Airbus 320 showing as S7 airlines routing Vienna- Bedford Mass. Fl360 overhead south Manchester 1128 !!

No cause for alarm - S7's VP-BTV (actually an A319) was scrapped in 2020.

The registration is now worn by a 737 BBJ operated by Las Vegas Sands.

Thanks for that. Info from FR24 I’m still learning it a bit more complicated than my trusty Sky Bandit !!

Outbound CC-150 Polaris, just taxied past the window at ACE

Vietnamese Falcon 8X just vapour-trailled over heading Woodley-Dover, a small dot visible at the end...

KC-46A c/s RCH557 Reg.16-46015 working with an F15 off the Wash at about 0830 this morrning.Makes a change from a KC 135.

Seafire airborne currently north of Yeovil.

Presumably a Drone CAP exercise prior to Eastern Europe deployment.

Run that past us again ?

According to a twatter feed a C17 has been doing loops over Poole Harbour this evening!:)
I think it may have been doing some para dropping with the Royal Marines, and I suspect they mean orbits or holding patterns. It went past my house several times.

And the same source has a tweet from the Norwich Evening News about a BA Embraer doing loops over Norwich ...

Drones? Speculation in other threads on the efficacy of WWII aircraft against the Russo-Iranian menace?

Sorry, probably just the way my mind works. Probably also no truth in the rumours about live .303/20mm rounds being issued to BBMF.

SNAKE49 ZZ419, a Beech Shadow has been flying very neat circles over West London for a couple of hours this evening

Yes also noticed that on ADSB Guide. It was circling for 3+ hours before returning to Waddington. I didn't post at the time for obvious reasons.
