Well I never! I'm a good enough plane spotter to tell a Lockheed Hercules from an
Antonov An-12 a long way off, so I was very surprised to see a 'Fat Albert' inbound to land at Ok臋cie's runway 33. What surprised me more was to see that it was an RAF rather than a USAF aircraft. I can't say I've ever seen an RAF type flying into Ok臋cie; USAF planes do show up from time to time. The aircraft above is
C130K XV305/305.
A bit of research and I discover that another RAF Hercules (
XV197/197) had visited Warsaw less than
two weeks ago. And
click here to see one I photographed flying over Matlock Bath in Derbyshire last August.
