I was just watching a probe-fitted C-130J circling around the Malmesbury/Charlton park area – presumably in a holding pattern.
He was there from approx 12:50 until 13:04 – when he headed off towards Swindon – presumably for the run-in to Wooton Basset/Lyneham.
Dunno if its the one in the NOTAM…??

13:00Z – 14:10Z seems a bit short for a repat? The funeral of Lyneham pilot, Flight Lieutenant Simon Hulme is today so possibly some sort of flypast?
No indication of what is doing the flypast though?
