Or not - http://www.airframes.org/reg/01
Gulfstream Aerospace C-37A

Everyone, please check Airframes if you see a strange tie-up.  Anything with a numeric registration like this is probably NOT what you think it is.

Hi,

Just picked up this mode s "4CA334". It's classed as "EIDW Ground", and appears to be a Radar Test at Dublin Airport. "Remarks from airframe.org" are: -800ft sq 7777, radar test

[Dub33]

Just picked up at 11.59 hrs "43C2F8" - reg "XS737", a Hawker Siddeley HS-125-2 Dominie T1 operated by 55(R) Sqn at RAF Cranwell for rear crew training.

[jgrloit]

The Dominies regularly fly up through the Shap Gap, on into Scotland Low Fly Zone and eventually return via Otterburn.
Various Callsigns used - They can also use the Spadadam Electronic Range, Just East of Carlisle.
I Also seen the UK and Luxembough E3C's and at times the Sentinels (ASTOR), possibly working in mixed Pairs.
(NATO??) aand (ASTOR??).

Hi on my box now 43C09F Astor 5 ZJ694 RAF Sentinel.

John Bangor Northern Ireland.

[jgrloit]

I wonder if ASTOR5 is working with the SRS in N.Ireland as he has been showing at 43000 ft on my box since 11:25 hrs today.
I had an E3C (NATO17) up before that but he seemed to transit Very Low, possibly into a local field - EGNT or EGNV with the Sentinel possibly a replacement.

[Canonjohns40D]

I've been wondering about that also as the E3 and sentinels have been pinging on my box regularly now for the last couple of weeks. However i have good coverage over into towards Scotlland, where a lot of Military action seems to occur,  and as they don't show position it's pure speculation.

John

Edit  Interestingly he is still there now at 15.14 at 43000ft.

Just got a Nimrod MRA4 from Warton, at 15.27 hrs ,its mode S is 400010 and its Reg " ZJ518".

I tend to expect the E3C's to be North Sea, as they frequently replace, or are replaced by Luxembough registered E3's either C's or F's . 
All of those use NATO signs so I thought that they were watching for Bears etc.
as they are usually at 38000 approx.

2 unknown GAF a/C's  3F6766 and 3F67E4 using Sqwark codes of 1751 and 1752 at low level 6120 & 8000 ft on my Box.
1 is ID'd as a Tornado on Airframes - Other unknown, but I suspect both will be Tor's - Working as a Pair!!!

Callsigns GAFCL1 and GAFCL1B.
