Hi all,
I am a newbie to forums4airports, I have registered because I wanted to ask did any of you local Exeter Airport spotters see what I took to be a C17 Globemaster on finals into Exeter on Monday afternoon, 20th July '15?
I could'nt verify it for myself as I was driving near Honiton.
I'd love to know!

Cheers

Welcome to the forum old'un.

I've not been able to confirm your sighting but it seems highly likely that you are correct.

Globemasters have carried out practice approaches to EXT in the past. This link is to a local newspaper report concerning such movements earlier this year.

thanks TLY, that's was what I call a prompt reply!
I think that local rag report confirms what I saw, we have similar "fly-by visits" at Bournemouth (Hurn) from the RAF, usually Chinooks.
I must say the C17 bearing down on me from out of the Devon gloom was a bit more impressive than one of Odiham's finest!

Cheers for now.
 
A pleasure. Hope to see you posting again on Forums4Airports. Best wishes.

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
