GB 20080908 C130 near Wyke Champflower Somerset 1

[Graham Harrison[_2_]]

I was waiting for a train when this happened along. Glastonbury Tor just
visible to the right and below.

Question - what is it? Yes, I know it's a C130 but the ones we get around
here doing low level runs are usually camouflaged and I don't think this one
is. Furthermore, if you look at the 4th image in the run it seems to have
blisters on the rear fuselage which I don't think I've seen before. Of
course, image 4 could be a different aircraft.

They are infra-red counter measures systems. Usually used on Special
Ops aircraft. Some are all grey, or all green.
