Radarspotting

I did a drive by at East Midlands (EGNX) today and saw a dark grey 330 parked on the DHL cargo ramps (10 am). Stupidly, I forgot my camera and had no bins with me  :-[ I had to rely on my phone which has a rubbish camera (thanks BB). Initially I thought it was an RAF MRTT but it looked to have a star (even darker Grey) on the tail. The image (shockingly bad) is below. Anyone recognise this or have a tie up please?

Thanks,

Tim

Picture here explains the "star" on the tail:

Bugger I missed that but still in the land of nod when it arrived  ;D


Edit: If you had been there after 1315, ZZ332 would also have been present!

Thank you Ian, much appreciated.

Further info from same group:

Thanks again for your reply.

G-VYGG is a pax carrier doesn't have any of the refuelling kit installed and is operated by Air Tanker for the MOD. This is one of the aircraft that can be leased out (if needed) hence the civilian registration and operates under Air Tankers AOC, call-sign normally TOW****
