Richard, I visited at around 11am Thursday, the BH was parked facing left. QD 167111 was parked to just the right of this one facing right side on. I read both of these off. The BH was quite hard to read due to angle. Hope this helps, David

I don't believe it's been outside since it arrived.

Of 15 stored RAF Hercs at CBG, 11 are currently outside (as of midday of 28th November 2023). Their RAF markings are masked, but there are new white markings near the door, consisting, presumably, of the last two digits of their RAF regs. I have managed to read them all today: 69 and 89 are on the side of H17; 67, 88, 75, 68 and 71 are in the front of H17; 72, 65, 79 and 78 are at the tower. 67 and 75 are still with the intact tails. The four Hercs currently inside are 66, 70, 74 and 77.

The only other non-ex-RAF Hercules outside late this afternoon when the USMC KC-130J 168066 returned from an airtest was South African 409, now parked with nose pointing north again, in the same area as before.

This needs to be updated again to delete 168066 USMC that departed today having arrived 18th October 2023.
