Spanish Air Force F27 returns home

Spanish Air Force F27-200MPA serial D.02-3, msn 10587 returned to it's base this morning.
During the week the aircraft had flown several 'bottom' cover missions out of Shannon for other company aircraft which were being ferried across the atlantic. D.02-3 is a SAR configured aircraft and is normally to be found in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
During it's stay in Shannon the aircraft used callsign AME 0219. At the end of July / start of August 2007 the same aircraft was based out of  Shannon on a similar mission. No hex code was displayed by the aircraft which is seen in the picture below taxiing for departure off Runway 24 during it's visit in August 2007 in slightly brighter weather than this morning !
