1223 a UAE C17 is due into Stansted around Lunchtime today. It's possibly to collect helecopters so If anyone notices if any are being loaded it would be useful if they could let me know so I keep my records upto date.

5N-FGA A330 Nigerian Air Force arrived at 07.24L

I believe that there will be a French air force TBM700 in tomorrow evening, 5'ish.

The French AF TBM700 was 159/ABU.

TBM700 159/ABU FMY8046 was in Tuesday 17th ATA 16:59, ATD 18:02.

A second TBM700 115/ABQ FMY8040 visited Wednesday 18th ATA 13:44 ATD 15:01.

Serials from Adsb, both are French Army rather than Air Force.

Thanks for this, Its always helpful to have another pair of eyes to highlight unusual movements I might miss

I am hearing that there 'may' be a brief visit by an E-4b mid-next week. Not sure that it is related to a POTUS Europe visit though as he is scheduled to be at the UN in in New York for three days at that time. Maybe its a dry run for his Africa visit in October? Lets see what develops, if anything.

Update: apparently it is still coming. Wednesday pm, is the latest rumour.

I am still a bit skeptical to be honest.

Apparently a C-37 came in today 06-0500 SAM735 as reported in the UK Movements section.

I was right to be sceptical.

The rumoured E-4b has apparently now morphed into a USAF C-32 and a C-17. Sometime after 5pm tomorrow so keep an eye on ADSB. I think they are just staying the night.

Defence Secretary is visiting which probably explains why it was originally going to be an E-4B.

Jd4781, that makes sense. Someone I know saw him come off of the aircraft and thought that's who it was. He's a big guy, very difficult to miss.

Apparently the C17 leaves tomorrow 11am
The C-32b leaves tomorrow 1pm.
