Saw this Belgian at Brize earlier this year.!

[Macc]

Digger; I'm afraid but I have to doubt the reality of your photo. Because the light is totally wrong on the front C-130. Only time the sun is that far is sunset.

It literally can't be, the lighting is on totally the wrong side.. it looks like you've PS'd a photo of one approaching the 23 end and stuck it onto the other picture. The only time you would get the sun in that position is about 3AM in the morning.. .

if he photoshopped that macc then he should be in hollywood. Look at that engine fumes blurring the herc behind it and if he pasted it on top the 'wand' tool etc wouldnt seperate the colours out of the props that good (trust me iv tried it ) I admit though it does look different to the rest of the photo, nice pic

[Mike]

Looks OK to me and I've been there more than once !

Thanks Batman.
I have just posted another pic taken at the same time.
I don't know what would be gained by such a thing.
Thanks again
Digger

Wow, I'm shocked. And I'm very sorry for not believing you and I take it all back.
And with that I must say what a super shot it is, you must have needed to change you trousers after that, my god he is low!
Again, I'm very sorry.

Dunk

[Ben Montgomery]

Wow Dunk, theres some nice ones there!

Whose is the MC-130H that is from topside rear? Serial is 90282 (I think?).

And an RAF Herky at Mildenhall? Havn't seen or heard one of those go in!

Ben the topside was from the RIAT Media day at FFD in 2007, it was a Mildenhall machine.

As for the RAF Machine, I was gutted lol! They parked up around the back of where the SOG are, near one of the hangars, to pick up troops who were going jumping in Norfolk somewhere.
