Can anyone assist in the identity of this C130 seen in the Lossie circuit at about 1615 yesterday?

Hex 29CBB8 showing on my box at 1707L FL27 with CNY6263 in the c/s box with 'VARIOUS' in the reg box must be somewhere in the South of UK

Hi Pete,

Hex [29CBB8] is one of those volatile hex codes.

It has been used by (to my knowledge) at least 4 different USN KC/C-130Ts, at least 2 different USMC KC-130Ts and an E-6!!! All of these were eyeball identifications. Funnily enough, 165348 was not one of the "offending" serials.

The previous confirmed identity of hex [29CBB8] was in Prestwick 03-04/05/2017 when it was 165158/CW.

Serial confirmed as 165158 from my pics Pete
