Depends what mark it is. NATO ones do (only aircraft NATO operate btw) RAF ones don't.It appears some have the 'pods' on the sides and some don't:
That's a Sentinel surveillance aircraft.Another plane query - anyone know what this is? It was circling round Lands End this summer. I thought it was just a brightly coloured exec jet at first but it seemed to have some ordnance beneath its wings.
Sorry it is so blurred - full zoom and moving fast.

Bought by NATO members (not Britain, France who both operate theirs independently of NATO), technically they belong Luxembourg as aircraft must be registered in a country. Luxembourg was a good fit as they don't have an airforce.'Only operate'?
It looks similar to a Sentinel, apart from the odd colour scheme, but the tailplane is halfway down the fin rather than near the top. There was also no pod beneath the fuselage. Is this a variant from another country?
Scrap that it looks like it's a Dominie. Although the RAF retired them last year.It looks similar to a Sentinel, apart from the odd colour scheme, but the tailplane is halfway down the fin rather than near the top. There was also no pod beneath the fuselage. Is this a variant from another country?
