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

Re: Herc's at CBG February 2023
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!

Re: Herc's at CBG February 2023
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).

Thank you for confirming that - I'd guessed it might be from the panel markings, but it was only really a guess.Rch135 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 9:10 amZH878 is The Aircraft By the Tower, It has Been Placed and Prepared For Longterm Storage which includes Covering The windows.Professor_M wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 3:15 pmFor 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).

Re: Herc's at CBG February 2023
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

Re: Herc's at CBG February 2023
with the arrival of MAH in a few moments I hope that encourages them to push KC-3802 outside to make room
