Yes
probably be a bit vague this , pretty certain it had USAF markings , grey in colour , i would say the size and general shape of a Boeing 707 , but , bits and pieces stuck all over it , the ends of the wings / nose / tailplane etc , saw it flying in and out of Teesside Airport this afternoon , and of course i didnt have my camera with me !!! , thanks if anyone can help me out :)
 
Did it have engines on the wing like the 707, or were the intakes in the wing close to the body of the aircraft? Only asking as if it wasn't USAF chances are it's a Nimrod.

thanks , but no it was definitely not a nimrod , it had 4 podded engines under the wings :)
 
If it was American it might be a E-8 Joint STARS, but I'd be surprised if it was. But going by the fact it's RIAT this weekend the possible choice of aircraft it might be widens up some.
 
just one other thought , the aircraft i saw was 'grey' , proper 'grey' not 2 tone , would that make a difference to it being based at mildenhall ?? :)
