A very rare aircraft to see in the UK. Having waited on the taxiway for ages it finally moved onto Runway 28 while a cloud floated in front of the sun, hence this rearward shot being uploaded. Using the callsign 'Titan' it departed Mildenhall to Andravida in Greece, to refuel five Indian Air Force Mirage 2000I's returning home from the March 2023 Cobra Warrior exercise. Despite being based on such an old aircraft type, this airframe is 20-years old having been delivered in 2003. A great sight and sound to experience.
