Any Hercules left at Lyneham ?

Post by XV148 » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:48 am

Does anybody know if there are any Hurcs left at Lyneham now and what was the last one out as I have seen several over the past two weeks. i know there were at least 3 lefts when the 'official' 4 ship flyout happened in June. Especially interested in XV221 which I think may be at Brunty now, any ideas on when it flew out and what is planned for her?
Thanks XV148

There is only one Herc left at Lyneham and it is being scraped it is a C130K XV290.

XV301 and XV221 both left Lyneham on July the 29th and were both flown in to Bruntingthorpe.
