List updated on the 16th April to add ZH879 which arrived on the 28th February and was missed.

G-988 already inside after it's short flight today.

Nothing outside this afternoon.

No Hercules outside this lunchtime.

List updated on the 9th February to
delete 167927 which departed on the 2nd February having arrived on the 25th July 2022.
add ZH872 which arrived for storage today.

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

ZH872 outside this afternoon.

Indian KC-3802 outside, painted.

(Visible from Airport Way).

List updated on the 9th February to
delete 84008 Sweden, which departed on the 22nd February having arrived on the 7th December 22.

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!

Two RAF C4 outside at the moment.

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
