Saw 2 of these earlier near Northolt when I didn't have my RB running.

Yep, they've been buzzing around all afternoon 87-24584 (AE0EAF) and 87-24583 (AE0EAE)  VIP transports attached to SHAPE, apparently.  There were also a couple of Chinooks wearing Northolt squawks at lunchtime, 89-0142 and 89-0144

43c508  - C/S Snatch1  currently at 1250ft   on either OTA or Spadeadam...    Had someone that sounded more like a fast mover on Spade the otherday 25/3 when this aircraft was being asked about.
The Exercise that day was suspended while an EasyJet flight NCL to Belfast overflew Spade!!!

Airnav slightly surprised that the Mode-s has NOT been added to the RB Server as yet if it has been seen over 2 or 3 days!!!

43C508 isn't even on GAS yet!!  Someone needs to post it to GAS before it will get to the Airnav servers.

airframes.org has it as XZ608, and http://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/ as a Lynx AH7.

Hi Tom thanks for that.

Anyone any ideas on this one please?  A short while ago on my box ADFDCO USAF C130 Torqe 40 93-7313. It looks like in the pictures it is a "Fire Fighter" with large Red 5 on the side?

There is also a thread discussing these fire-fighting aircraft here:

Thanks Alocator It was that picture attracted my attention. Would they normally be based outside the USA as this was on my Box?
