List updated today to delete170278 USMC which departed today havng arrived on the 13th February 2025.

Only ex-RAF Hercs currently visible from the east end.

The usual difficult question: I was there on March 05 around 16:00 and noted 10 RAF Hercs outside (I did not go to the "back-end" due to time-constaints). I can only read the following from photo's:

89
75
66
79
67
71
and one that looks like 72

Any help on the missing one's greatly appreciated !

Rgds, Hans

List updated on the 8th March to add S3-AGF which arrived on the 6th March.

@ All, does someone have the missing 3 serials, there were 13 ex RAF Hercs outside.
Mtia!

On 7th March around 0800LT the Hangardoor went open for a short time.
i managed the read off the code on the nose '278', which makes it a KC-130J 170278 (according to the CBG March 2025 overview.)

From the February 2025 tread:

"Re: Hercs at Cambridge February 2025
Post by Trailspotter » Fri Feb 14, 2025 11:58 pm

I've made a new "inventory" of ex-RAF C-130Js at the end of the day today, 14-Feb-2025. There are 13 aircraft outside: 65, 89 and 68 on the side of H17; 88, 75, 66, 72, 70 and 79 in the front of H17; and 67, 69, 71 and 74 near the tower. The remaining two aircraft, 77 and 78, are currently inside."

I think that none of these has been moved since. On 6th March, the intact 78 was pulled out and parked on A10. It was there the next day and probably during the weekend as well.

List updated today to add 165735 USMC which arrived today and delete S3-AGG Bangladesh whch departed today having arrived on the 16th October 2024.
