Yes I saw it on FR24 at the time.
It would be nice if they (the UK MOD) could come up with a different name for the type. Having allocated “period” T/Nos WT001-003 incl it doesn’t look like they are going to.
I understand the USAF is considering the E-7 as a replacement for their E-3’s. Possibly followed by NATO as well.
