Saturday 15th July Early/Mid AM. 11 C130s were seen: By tower: ZH872 ZH865 ZH878 + 888? with taped over reg In front of H17 ZH868 ZH870 56 year tail ZH871 ZH869 + undentified C130J in a much darker RAF scheme?? Possibly ZH879 which has been reported here and pictures online show it to be looking muc...

Ta for the reply STN RAMP RAT

Was my gut feeling, but Hall movements page showing parked all day Thurs/Friday?? Appears to have departed 10.22 Weds but no mention off a arrival time back
Weds or Thurs. Could be a typo I guess

John

Can anyone please confirm if this is still at the Hall please?

Many thanks
John

Situation at 5PM 10-10-21 Found 841 parked near the large Marshalls hangar appeared complete. A second C130 was present minus tail, wings, looking very sad, noticed it had the swedish badge on rear of fuselage so guessing it was 843 The ex RAF C130J with blanked out reg ZH888 was still parked near t...

Great set Josh,

I really like the 747 picture very different from the usual Kalitta/National ones i have seen at the Hall of late

Thanks for sharing your pics

John

Yes many happy hours spent at Colt in my youth, I use to push bike there from the northern edge of Norwich every school holiday and also visit with my dad. Always plenty of jags flying, you just never knew what was going to drop in or do a approach. Over the years we had some real nice exchange visi...

Mustang,

thank you ever so much for the reply
like many with the restrictions of the last year or so, I have been going through old logs and enjoying the past
pleased to report i needed it

Cheers

John

Can anyone help with the id of a mystery P3 that was present on the above date

Any help on this one most grateful
Thanks

John

Awesome shots Phil, and a nice collection of unusual aircraft you had down there!!
Ta for sharing your pics

John

Brillant set of shots Shaun, I really enjoyed them.
Been a while since i have been down to Heathrow but i bet Myrtle Avenue was a tad busy!!

John

I was there 5.30-6.00 PM approx
06-6165 C17 was parked near the E4, it departed whilst i was there 5.55 PM approx
63-9792 RC135 was also present

John

Incredibly 20 years ago now!! I spookily was looking at the checklist earlier today.
But yep it was a brillant day out, with some unusual participants and thanks for posting your pictures from the day

John

Think that is the beauty of plane spotting, there are so many different things to spot if you want to and at the end of the day there are no rules, you can spot/collect what you want to. I do both civil and military, but only selected civil ie Airliners and Corp Jets. I do like to read the numbers o...

Don't worry Phil I was there Saturday AM the 12th Sept!!

Pleased I could help your mate, the light and haze was very iffy when I arrived thankfully the sun went into the cloud and I could read them as clear as a bell.
I was pleased I got 2 of the 3 I wanted

John

F16s were:
350,521,532,491,008,525,178,023,355

sorry I can't help with the F15s I am afraid

John

Phil, that's why I did a detailed report I really went for the C130 yesterday and wasn't quite sure what or how much of each plane would be visible with the F35s. I was pleasantly surprised. I messed up on 08, but that's in the left barn so shouldn't be a problem, so you would be up to 8. People wil...

Thanks for that twinstar, I see Buster didn't log 08 either I am guessing that it was obscured by the first one from the tree I leant against, so be careful everyone!! I suppose also I was looking for 5 under each sunshade too which didn't help!! I shall be passing tomorrow so will take a another lo...

Just to add to the above, I visited this afternoon for a look: Those in the left hand sun shed are easily visible through a nice large gap between trees/shelters codes read 00,06,04,07 and 01 all tails, tops of fuselages visible Right hand sun shed much harder too see, gap through trees much smaller...

Brilliant Jaws, I really believed you have cracked it.

Ta ever so much for your help

John

Again Jaws thank you ever so much for your detailed reply, I have dug my log out for the day in question and see I did note 99102 also but I didn't need it.
So it's looking like the above C130s were based at the Hall at the time?? I Guess a arrival date for 9282 may decide it. Thanks TB1

John
