Small CIVIL question: what civil aircraft was in the static next to yellow Cessna G-BNKI? It had covers on early morning so I did not bother to check; on the way out I forgot...

Indeed, it was, thanks! Grumman American AA-5 Traveller G-BEZG. Identified by its tail, its colours and its landing gear that could be seen in my picture of its neighbour on the static, G-BNKI It's not in the official RIAT checklist, though...

Also on the Sunday: what MC-130, CV-22 and KC-135 were flyovers?

The cv-22was the 11-0058 and the mc-130 the 08-6205. I can not help you with the kc-135.

Anyone for the u-2 leaving Monday very early?

KC135R was 60-0335/D and the U2 was 80-1079/BB. It was outside its hangar on sunday for refueling.
It left monday aprox 7:15 and arrived back around 17:00.
Around 17:40 UAEAF C17A 1223 arrived.

Hi,
Does anyone know which C-37B left Fairford on the sundaymorning? The first one was 97-0401, a C-37A. The second one was a C-37B (more windows) but wore NO outside number. Curious to know which that was.
Thanks, Frank.

Found it also on the Planes TV livestream -> here. Seems to sport ET00.050 markings on the nose.

What a shame that - out of thousands of spotters visiting RIAT 2023 - not anybody found it necessary so far to share his own complete logs instead of simply relying on others people work. :'( ... Well, I was one of those until today, as I finished my own homework just now ))
