Bahrain C-130's
Hi folk
Can some confirm the exact situation with the Bahraini C-130's
I passed recently and the hangar door was open (HGR19?) and a Bahrain C-130 was clear in the back left corner ... question is ... is this the ONLY on currently painted??

Re: Bahrain C-130's
At 09:30 yesterday the left half of the large hangar was open for G-273 to be towed out prior to its departure and swap over with G-275. Bahrain 702 was in the back left corner (as viewed from the South side of the airfield) and Bahrain 701 was in the back right corner (or rather the middle of the hangar) with Norwegian 5699 in the middle at the back between these two facing directly out. G-273 was in the front left side on the hangar, I assume G-275 would have taken its place there but this is just an assumption. I can provide pictures if you need clarification. This was all viewed from the footpath along the fence down March Lane. Worth noting 702 was not viewable from Coldhams Lane due to the angle, but 701 was clearly visible to the right of the Norwegian.

Hi Sam - That's a detailed report and hugely appreciated! "IF" you can send a high quality image then I'd certainly appreciate it.
Now need to check road names you mention
