Trailing tracker
Royal Saudi Air Force C-130 Hercules '1624' streams a con-trail as she crosses the South coast tracking a Danish registered Dassault Falcon 7X towards France and beyond.
The 'Herc' was in support of the Saudi Green Flag exercise which had just finished up at RAF Coningsby and this bird and a couple of others had arrived there via East Midlands Airport to take all their support gear home.
Their two A330MRTT Tankers went from RAF Brize Norton and routed out across the Isle of Wight - too far west to be seen from my vantage point with the four Tornados and four Typhoons trailing them on their run back to Saudi.
