At last one of the 2022 RIAT departures came vaguely within sight from my garden (in North Norfolk UK). All of the others had frustratingly turned east 15 miles too soon for me to see them! German Airforce Airbus A400m Callsign GAF691 reg: 54+29 ICAO 3E9FD2.

I could clearly hear it and see the very obvious trail but with the glare and haze on one of the hottest days ever recorded in the UK I couldn't make out the actual aircraft at that height (27,000ft) with the naked eye.

However I took a photo of the trail and when I examined it was surprised to see this come out. Just look at the those fantastic propellor tip vortices!

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Some brilliant photos here!
The MC-130 looks like it's about to take the tops off some trees. What a picture.
Thanks for posting.
