CommentThis is the MRTT aka Biggles we saw flying in earlier. I'm giving it a separate entry to highlight the call sign, to show where thr "CBOW" -- CrossBOW, one presumes -- thing comes from. The Biggles thing is another story.
It's not in its usual place over busy Iraq : near Erbil. It looks like some of the operations have shifted toward the Syrian border.
