Hi John
According to Airframes.org, 380D3B is A French Air Force Airbus A310 also known as F-RADC. Unfortunately, and you get this with many of these short military codes, its French military registration is its construction number, 418.
418 is obviously used as a code by other air forces including Poland - hence the photos, which are gererated by the registration, not the Mode S code.
You can get photos of the correct aircraft from Airliners.net and replace the MiG photos with them if you want - I've had to do this with many French and German military aircraft.
Hope that helps.

Hi Rod thanks again for the assistance. I'll give a go to replacing these. Funnily enought it also happens with one of the Irish Air Corp aircraft as well. I'm learning everyday not a bad thing at my age!!! Cheers

Hi Mark - lucky you - the most interesting aircraft round here (Chorley, Lancashire) is a Cessna 172 - mind you, it does have full ADS-B, so you can watch it on the network!
