The above landed Tenerife South at 10.45hrs. The serial seemed to be 3 numbers on tail. Distance stopped me reading it off, however it wasn't RAF, Canadian or USA. Hope someone can help with a tie-up. Many thanks

what colour was the Hercules - grey, sandy, green, mixed camo, white this might help narrow down the operator ?


three numbers on the tail - *maybe* Swedish.

The Herc was dark grey and had no country flag on the tail so wasn't Danish or Swedish. Looking at photos on the web the most likely is Norwegian (I know they have 4 numbers but distance is my excuse). Thanks anyway.

Not sure, but I think you saw Israelian C130J 669.
This routed from Brazil back home on the 17th. And flew from one of the Canary islands overhead southern Spain to Israel on the 18th.
