Recent C5 visitor to RAF Fairford.

Picture below (a generic Google Image, not mine) is of the C5C that flew into Fairford recently to recover the spares following the recent exercise.
The aircraft is one of two, and the last time this aircraft touched down on these shores, was at Boscombe Down, during the "Boscombe Down incident"

Saw it fly over Brize the other day, had to look twice because at height its silhouette is very much like a C-17.

That photo is a C5M which there are more than 2 of and more to come back online soon from being mothballed.
