Hercules over Bicester 18/2/12 ?

Post by knutt » Sat Feb 18, 2012 7:20 pm

At around 1840 this evening a large turboprop aircraft ,possibly a Hercules was seen flying low over Bicester. It appeared to be heading south east towards Weston on the Green. Can anyone confirm what it was,with an ID if possible please?.

thanks Kevin

C130J ZH884 went into Brize soon after that time. It came OTT Northampton heading your way at about 18.30 at FL100.

I followed him on PP briefly after Northampton and he dropped the altitude rapidly as soon as he cleared the FL100 requirement of the Daventry corridor.
