Some photos of the EC130-H's transiting through Mildenhall this week and some other shots from after dark, with a lucky set of passes by the RAF's E-3 as NATO31. A couple from Maid Cross Hill which is great for viewing, if not for photo's, when they are on 06.

Good set Nick.

I know it's more distant, but I like photo #10. I think the shelters featuring in the photo gives it more of an operational feel.
