Any aeroplane spotters/plane geeks out there? - not holiday ones?

[BikeRunSki]

Yesterday I drove past Humberside Airport, and the road around the perimeter was packed with plane spotters, all craning their necks and looking through the fence with binoculars. There was a large dark grey plane parked up at that end of the airport.

What was causing so much excitement in rural Lincolnshire yesterday tea time?

The RAF sometimes use Humberside for training purposes, it could have been one of their A400Ms.

I have googled, I think that what it could have been. Thank you.

Ooh, thank you.
That came over us, very low, about 3pm yesterday. Interesting.

Photo taken by kids whilst I was driving, but this thing??

That looks more like a C17 rather than an A400M. Both fly out of Brize Norton.

It was the c17. Dc a d I have googled, definitely the bulbous shape of the c17.
