[ChrisC]

Anyone know if the South African C130 was still outside this evening?

[Wobs58]

It was outside at lunchtime Chris.

[milaviation]

Anyone know if the South African C130 was still outside this evening?

They don’t work on weekends, so it will be out till Monday morning at least

[ChrisC]

Thanks for the replies. The South African and USMC KC130J 169225 were both still outside this morning.

[milaviation]

It seems the South African has unfortunately been towed to a spot it can no longer be photographed.

Still visible but don’t expect a good picture

[Trailspotter]

USMC KC-130J 169230 departed today, 15-Aug-2023 as RAIDR50.

Does anyone know which USMC was outside, behind 169230 this morning please? - not 169225, which is still parked by the tower.
