Re: Herc's at CBG October 2022
At 10:00 noted the tail of Swedish AF 84002 is propped up by the largest hangar, to right of where 84007 is parked. This hangar was open and two grey C130s noted before closure but identities unconfirmed. Lesson to self "run quicker" !

Re: OK F-16
The F16 can be seen from the Warren. Walk along the fence heading west to the closet point on the hill to the Control Tower. Looking at the gap between the Tower and the tall white screen, It is on the ramp near the F35 shelter. Only the tail can be seen including showing red band and OK.

RCH 431 on 23/3
Couldn't find if this has been posted, but.... 58-0113 KC135R departed on 23rd as Reach 431 heading west over Cornwall and the pond. Was this a 100ARW based aircraft departing to US for replacement / servicing ?
Thanks in advance

Stored reduced Typhoon air frames near Fen lane
Hi
As seen yesterday. Anyone know the identities of the two Typhoons twin seaters reduced to skeleton air frames close to the fence visible a short distance down Fen Lane. There are wings and bits too. One appears to be ZJ810 but visibility was not good.
Thanks in advance
Julian

Parking is limited but worth it. Walk up the banks onto the field where there are many dog walker paths. The ...
