Herc 317 Cambridge April 77?
Re: Herc 317 Cambridge April 77?
Arabic numerals?
Backwards 3, slanted 1, number 7 makes it 416 in Roman numerals.
Then again a backwards 7 would be 2. Backwards 7 with a squiqqly top would be 3.
That makes it maybe 416, 412 or 413.
Not very helpful, I guess. sorry!

KAF317 l.100-20 of Kuwait AF per chance? It was current at the time before being written off in 1980.
Re: Herc 317 Cambridge April 77?
Not Cambridge but entirely possible it visited Cambridge the previous day as well for spares/spannering at Marshalls
BAR/BARG has KAF317 L-100 visiting Brize Norton on 12/4/77
SEAR only had a couple of reports from Cambridge but no mention of any 317
No Cambridge reports in BAR/BARG

Confirm it was the Kuwait one...I was working at Marshalls then and used to keep a daily log. It arrived on Friday 1/4/77, test flew Wednesday 13/4 after being worked on, I don't have a date for it leaving but it would have been soon afterwards. I wonder if the BARG date at Brize may be a few days adrift.
