Mystery Hercules?

[Unknown74]

Was Edinburgh supposed to have a visit by a German Hercules today? Saw it mentioned on FR24 but unless I’ve missed it never saw it. Guess it must have cancelled due to Events……….?

There are no German C-130s, nor anyone else's for that matter, showing on the arrivals list for Edinburgh, either as due or as cancelled. I think you may have misread what you were looking at.

GAF858 A319 15+03 was planned into Edinburgh for an approach but it went to Prestwick instead, apparently the info on FR24 regarding it being a C-130 was incorrect.

Fr24 says C130 because 1503 is in there dbase as such, which is a mixup for a Polish C130H.

Note that Polish Hercules serial 1503 is a C-130E not an "H"

Typical FR24, the most unreliable website I’ve seen.

ADS-B Exchange has better coverage, or Plane Finder. In fact I use all three at various times. Don't forget they all have playback to help find those "missing" sightings.

Talking Hercules Mysteries involving Edinburgh, any idea why the US KC-130 has diverted back to Cambridge? Lost?

On a test flight, but what has this got to do with Edinburgh?

Because it was due in to Edinburgh unless that useless Webside FR24 is playing up again. Mind you it has been mentioned in the Overhead/ Heads-Up section that it is due in here today.
