Kiwi 111 fuel stops in Shannon

Shannon received an unusual military visitor today in the shape of a Royal New Zealand Air Force C-130H Hercules serial NZ7005. The aircraft, msn 4313 was delivered in December 1968 and is based with 40 sqn in Whenuapai.
Arriving from Germany, 'KIWI 111' did a quick turn around before embarking on the nine hour leg to Toronto.
Anyone looking back through today's Mode S logs on RadarBox  or SBS to see how they missed the aircraft will be disappointed - the hex code was '000000' !
The picture shows NZ7005 about to land on Runway 24
