I didn't hang around for long when catching the arrival of Swedish 84005 earlier, but did note ZH872 & ZH866 as the two most westerly ex-RAF Hercules on the airfield.

11:20 Based on the markings etc assumed Oman A.F. C130J (525) is currently parked between the hangars but too much heat to read serial no.

Just 170273 (parked near to the tower, visible from Airport way at the East end) & 5 Ex-RAF Hercules (4x C4, 1xC5) outside when the Omani returned this afternoon - didn't hang around for long enough to see if anything was then put into the hangars though.
