White C-130 out of East Midlands?

[F575]

Was at Donington Park today and at about 6pm(ish) there was what appeared to be a white Hercules take off from East Midlands. Couldn't see any markings from where I was stood though. Any info on it all? I've seen a few military versions flying out of East Mids before, but not this one.

One of the Irish ones?

its based there I see it when I get jobs there, don't know who owns it pure white no military markings, it's normally parked near the air ambulance.

The Herc is operated by Ai Contractors and carries the serial EI-JIV, there are 2 flying from EMA but they swap over every few weeks so only one at a time is there.

Is this the white C130 you see in the new Batman film?
