New photo How UK-based amateur photographer revealed Trump's not-so-secret trip to Iraq...

An amateur photographer and aviation enthusiast managed to reveal Donald Trump's secret trip to Iraq.

Alan Meloy, from Sheffield, was peering up at the sky, from the front step of his home when he managed to photograph Air Force One.

He told CNN: 'I literally stepped out, and I could see a trail coming towards me and thought let's have a look at what's on the end of that.

The IT Project manager, said he was 'amazed' when the plane flew over and spotted it was one of only two VC-25s in the world, due to the distinct colour scheme.

The VC-25 is a modified Boeing 747-200 and is used to fly the US President.

Mr Meloy snapped a picture of the plane and it quickly went viral online, with speculation spreading on where the President was heading.

In his post Mr Meloy said: 'So all I said was I know what I've seen, it's a VC-25 there's only two of those in the world -- that's all I can tell you. There's my photograph.'

The secret trip came amid speculation that President Trump was not at the White House

President Trump and first lady made a surprise visit to Iraq on Wednesday — their first visit to a war zone since the sitting president took office nearly two years ago.

They left from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland shortly after midnight with a small group of journalists and aides in tow. Trump was in the country for roughly three hours before the White House confirmed his whereabouts.

The president delivered a speech to the rank and file at Al Asad Airbase, took selfies with the troops and met with military leaders in Iraq.

'I want to come and pay my respects most importantly to the great soldiers,' he said of the visit. 'Great troopers we have here.'

President Trump was several hours outside of Syria and and Baghdad during his trip to Iraq on Wednesday

Trump announced last week that he's pulling American troops out of neighboring Syria, because the U.S. had 'defeated ISIS' in the nation that's also mired in a civil war.

'We've knocked them out. We've knocked them silly,' he said of the U.S. assault on ISIS in Syria on Wednesday.

He claimed that in Iraq that the terror group had been 'very nearly defeated' altogether and Turkey and other regional powers will finish the job.

'We're no longer the suckers, folks,' the president said of the decision to start packing up. 'We're respected again as a nation.'

President Trump said he does not plan to withdrawal troops from Iraq, however, and could use the site as the home base for future operations in the region, according to Bloomberg News.

'If we see something happening with ISIS that we don't like, we can hit them so fast and so hard they really won't know what the hell happened,' he proclaimed.

Al Asad is roughly 185 kilometers outside of Syria, where the president last week initiated a withdrawal of 2,000 U.S. troops. It is west of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, which is approximately 220 kilometers to the base's east.

Trump never served in the military, having received a medical diagnosis that he had bone spurs. It helped him receive an exemption from mandatory service during the Vietnam War.

The daughters of the doctor who provided the medical excuse came forward before the president was known to be in Iraq on Wednesday to claim that their father offered the diagnosis as a favor to the Trumps.

Never before had President Trump been to a war zone before his secret trip at Christmas that followed announcements that his secretary of defense and ISIS point man were leaving the administration.

Both General James Mattis and Brett McGurk tendered their resignations after Trump's realignment of the United States' military posture in the country that's closely aligned with Iran and Russia.

Trump said Wednesday that his 'generals' had received multiple six-month 'extensions' to get out of Syria.

'They said again, recently, can we have more time? I said, 'Nope. You can't have any more time. You've had enough time. We've knocked them out. We've knocked them silly,' ' he said of ISIS' operations in Syria.

'I will tell you that I've had some very good talks with President Erdogan who wants to knock them out also and he'll do it. And others will do it to. Because we are in their region. They should be sharing the burden of costs and they're not.'

The president had spoken to Turkey's Recep Erdogan prior to his Iraq trip and was invited on the call to visit Ankara. 

He did not appear to have taken the leader who has begun amassing tanks on his border with Syria up on the offer before leaving the Middle East for a second undisclosed destination.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
