Unusual times, unusual aircraft...

While Brian, Norman and I were walking towards the East Bank at Cley on Tuesday, four apparent Hercules transport aircraft crossed the reserve from the direction of Mildenhall. It's not unusual to see a USAF C-130 in Norfolk skies (although for some reason the RAF scrapped theirs some years back) These aircraft were obviously different, though: their bulbous noses and somewhat sinister colour scheme revealed them to be the Special Forces variant, the MC-130J, apparently from the 352nd Special Operations Wing... There is speculation that they might possibly be involved in some form of interdiction in the Straits of Hormuz.
