All noted again today when Indian Air Force C-130J-30 KC-3802 arrived this afternoon.

Which KC-130J was parked behind ZH874 (not 165957)?

Did KC-3802 get put away into a hangar this evening after I left, and did anything else come out?

Thank you. Much appreciated!

Outside at 08:30: KC-3802, 212, 165957/QD, KAF 328. Plus the RAF one.

Ditto at 10:40

Definitely worth walking around the public foot path to get a good view of KC-3802

Seen at Cambridge 11.00am today 212MAI,K3802,165957 all close together
and Swedish 847 to left of large hangar.
You can read then off easy from the gate of the new Bellway housing further down the road.
Hope this helps,Neil.

At 10:00 noted the tail of Swedish AF 84002 is propped up by the largest hangar, to right of where 84007 is parked. This hangar was open and two grey C130s noted before closure but identities unconfirmed. Lesson to self "run quicker" !

Not sure what you mean by that. The whole aircraft is there.....

Was the RAF Hercules C4 that was parked outside this afternoon when ZH867 arrived ZH874 that has been outside this week or a different one? I say this as it was heavily raining so I couldn't read serials off in the rain and it was parked at a different angle to earlier on in the week.

Also, immediately after ZH867 arrived they opened up the East-end doors to the hangar immediately to the west of where KAF328 was parked up and one Indian Air Force C-130J-30 could be seen, but no serial visible - which of the two present was this one? Also, which RAF Hercules (well, dark green) was parked right in the north-west corner of the hangar, just visible behind the Indian with some pannels and control surfaces missing?

List updated on the 6rd October for ZH867 RAF, Which arrived yesterday.
