C0498C Canadian AF Airbus CC-150 reg:15001 with FID: 01

This was the presidential aircraft until it was converted to a freighter. Role now rotates across the fleet using quick-change cabin sections.

Interesting Flight-ID for ZE775   43C156  a Tornado    - TIRPITZ1   seems a bit heavy.......   Which Squadron anyone????
Based in Hexham - Tyne Valley 
Best view for RB is North of a line between EGNT and EGNC  - includes OTA and Spade, to EGPH above 7500ft.   Can be TRUE mobile with Mobile Broadband feed to Network.

Airframes comes back with ZE755 which is a former 25sqn a/c operating out of Boscombe Down. Any squawk?

OK ZE755 - was working from Memory as it had disappeared as I wrote the message.     Was suspecting 617 or 633!!!
No Squawk noticed but height was less than 5000ft.
I think I saw something about a low-level in the lakes in memory of someone from the war, but not sure which week that was due!!!
Barnes Wallace comes to mind. - in memory..
