Unusual formation over East Yorkshire today

Hello All

 

Can anyone shed any light on a formation seen overhead at Broomfleet at about 1025 UST today - unfortunately I didn't look up until it was some distance away!

 

Seven vapour trails flying in parallel - appeared to be one large aircraft (tanker??) flanked by two flights of three smaller aircraft.  Also two more trails that were flying in the same direction (NW) but to one side.  All of the aircraft eventually turned to NE.

 

Thanks

 

Mike

We had a KC-10 over our house,Lowestoft letting down for Mildenhall around 11 something. May have been a reserve or a top up kite.

Tanker and F-15s heading stateside

Thanks Dave

 

Have just re-looked at Flightradar24 and this time remembered to put in the UTC time!

Shown as "Claw41" - started at Lakenheath, did two circuits overland and one over the Wash before heading our way at about 27000 ft.

 

regards

 

Mike.
