Saw ZH872 above Woodford Halse Northamptonshire @ 1500ft. Glad I got a photo if that's its final flight.

Indian C-130J KC-3802 is up on its first test flight currently.

If anyone sees it outside or knows when it’s due home in the coming days I’d appreciate a post, still after it after missing it last October!

For anyone wondering, Indian KC-3802 has been hangared, as has ZH868 - leaving only one very tired looking RAF Hercules C4 outside (with windows seemingly papered in).

ZH878 is The Aircraft By the Tower, It has Been Placed and Prepared For Longterm Storage which includes Covering The windows.

Thank you for confirming that - I'd guessed it might be from the panel markings, but it was only really a guess.

Good Afternoon,
Just noted the ex-RAF C130 near to the tower
With the way the light was on it it seems to have some panels outlined with sealing tape on the top surface of the wing and the right hand side fuselage
Could not see the cockpit windows to see if they were papered up though
Shame to see another one laid-up
Regards,
Paul

with the arrival of MAH in a few moments I hope that encourages them to push KC-3802 outside to make room :D
