Good Morning All,
Yesterday 10-11-2017 between 11am - 12pm a French Air Force KC-135 "738" was active on ADS-B in a race track position between the Isles of Scilly and Callington, Cornwall.
When he overflew Hatt (at approx 11:30ish) he was dragging an AWACS and continued to do so for about 30 mins.
Would anybody know the identity of the AWACS ?
He then turned South & returned to France at just after midday
Many Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome to AFA monarch01.
We only got back from Cornwall after a week's stay yesterday, like you, I saw the French 135 on ADS-B Exchange but didn't see an AWACs I'm afraid. Had you thought about asking on the Fighter Control Group forum? Some one there will know. There's a link on the top of the forum here or if you're not a member, more than happy to ask on your behalf

I've posted a request on FCG. The E3 was tracking as "NATO32" so someone will have the reg

Thank you for that Graham, I am not a member of fighter control, so hopefully someone may come up with a reg
Again thanks for posting that for me

And, just for completeness, the C-135FR was showing a callsign of "MERLIN28".
