If you saw a Herc with two engines, then it was one of two Czech C295's that already dropped their first para's in the afternoon around 1415-1445lt. No KLu Herc was active in that area around that time, as far as I know.

Just to add, there are smaller droppings on Sunday evening, and wednesday evening (21st). On the morning of 22nd, some helicopters will help with the assault on the "ENKA" building in Ede.

Off topic: Nice Bday gift to have so much action in my back yard ;-)

Might see you there,
Oscar

A KLu C130 dropped about 10 high-jumpers a few minutes ago and then flew off to the north-west.

Any clue on how late the drop will be tonight? Timeframe I have is between 1800 and 2200, but that's a bit too wide ;-)

I just heard the distintive sound of a C130 but I couldn't see it from Wageningen. But something is definitely going on.....
