Pair of Texan II into Brize 11:53 ZM340 & ZM 330

I hate to be picky but 6166 was converted from a C-130B to C-130H standard - just saying

Love the moody sunset shot

In Brize circuit still showing as ZF511 on ADSB but definitely Chinook

Travelling to London on a coach I saw an AH-64 on a low-loader heading north at about 12:30. Anyone know the serial please. I'm guessing it was heading for Brize to be airlifted.

ZJ197 and ZJ211 were road moved yesterday.

Thank you, I guess they are being taken to USA

It might assist if you were to say what road you were driving on and where you were at the time of the sighting.

M40 near High Wycombe

The video shows "RAF" Brize Norton.

That's correct, all bases in UK with USAF tenants are still RAF. The USAF only lease them and the Station Commander is an RAF officer.
That's why it's RAF Fairford, RAF Mildenhall, RAF Lakenheath, etc

Both are flight numbers from ADS-B. VQBIN is HI1081 a B38M and MHISA is as above A9C-HIA
VQBIN is currently at 1700ft north of Andover heading east so I think your call of M-RBHF is more likely
Now turned west and seems to be descending into Thruxton

B747 just landed at Brize 15:06.
Also arrived this afternoon were VQ-BIN B38M and M-HISA AW139
Busy day for a Sunday

Thanks for the corrections Graham

I must have the c/n wrong, 60-0039 was written off in 1977, crashed in USA on approach in a snowstorm.
Some took off from one base but landed at the other after the Kosovo mission.

2 days in May 1999 Brize and Fairford BTF 7 & 8 May.
