KAF342, Kuwaiti C17 at Newcastle

Post by Len123 » Wed Aug 27, 2014 8:52 am

Morning all, here is a selection of shots from yet another visit to NCL from KAF342 (somewhat of a regular now)

Shots taken on iPhone so quality is not great.

Is it still Newcastle, and if so, any idea of a departure date/time?

Sorry if it has been asked before, but why does the Kuwaiti C-17 go to Newcastle ?

I think it is to do with money, but I might be wrong.

Thanks for the info. Of course I forgot all about this last night, but it had left by then anyway. I'll keep an eye out for it coming back, as it looks a nice machine to photograph.
