Herc's at CBG August 2023

[Trailspotter]

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

I couldn't read her tail, but it probably was 167983, a Sumo that arrived 26 days ago. A new Sumo arrival is expected soon, according to a post in another thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=235374

FYI 167983 departed morning of Tues 15th as Raider 31 heading N. This was being readied for departure when I popped by around 09:15.

Are you sure? It was 169230 that departed on Tues 15th as RAIDR50. I spent all morning at CBG waiting for her departure.

In a brief stop at CBG this morning I noted 169225 and 5607. US and Norwegian respectively. I also noted 7 ex-RAF Hercs stored outside bit was unable to read them due to heat haze. Can anyone help with ID's please?

169225 is fully visible to the right of the tower and 169230 is also outside behind the gaggle of RAF Hercs to the left of the tower.

Anyone have any ideas on the RAF C-130 registrations that can be seen. Think I counted 8?

Thanks
