ROKAF C130's at Boscombe Down - Updated with DEP's

[Disaster Area]

2 of the 3 ROKAF C130's that are visiting Boscombe Down in support of the upcoming visit of the Black Eagles Demonstration Team. It was too dark to photograph the third aircraft!

As I saw them in I thought i'd see them out and joined the many on the perimeter roads at Boscombe Down on Saturday morning. The weather didn't quite play ball but at least I caught the C130 that arrived last on Tuesday evening in daylight!

Lovely pics like the departure shots I stayed at the end of the runway, still happy to have seen them, but maybe should moved.
