The government won't have paid for a new livery for a Titan Airways plane as it's a private charter company but if you get the PM as a customer you're going to give your Airbus a good wash I'd imagine.
Would freight landings at Heathrow usually come up on public sites, eg, flightradar ?
Yes. And if you use this you can track military flights too https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
Various Globemasters have been dropping stuff off at Newquay (e.g. a heli for Joe) but they'll have done the same at Mildenhall I'm sure so he could transit from there because they do keep helicopters there but they don't have the specially painted/specced ones sat around AFAIK.
The sheer amount of kit flown in for a U.S. Presidential visit is obscene and £8 million was spent lengthening the runway so Air Force One could land there:

I meant the US Govt paying to renovate one of their own plain planes, on the occasion of Biden’s 1st tour.

Also: 99% sure it’s a C-17 I saw earlier this week, having seen the video in the article you linked. Really astounding that something that big and heavy-looking flies.

Fascinating, thanks.
Enjoying keeping an eye on two eurofighters off Cornwall as I get on with much more productive things. They're over the HMS Prince of Wales I think.

Cheers! I figured if the white jet didn’t have windows the it was a cargo flight, but thought it was strange it was so white (I don’t expect cargo planes are polished clean after every flight). Whether it had humans or cargo, it looked like a shiny new livery, which would be a classic burn-through-the-budget Government move, especially for the Biden’s 1st POTUS trip overseas.

Biden landed at Mildenhall at 7:45pm yesterday, so it could have been related to the visit. The US keeps Globemasters there apparently. Don’t know why they would’ve flown to London if he landed further north. https://www.mildenhall.af.mil/Portals/9/documents/safety/Mid%20Air%20Collision%20Avoidance/2016%20MACA%20Pamphlet.pdf?ver=2017-04-20-045126-167
Awesome machines in any case.
