Mildenhall 20/07/2021

Post by slogen51 » Tue Jul 20, 2021 8:18 am

After a period of no visitors there are 4 on the deck at 09:00

The two FT HC-130J 5765 and 5717 night stopping Tuesday night
(16)5160 CW C-130T USN
ZZ3?? Voyager RAF

Hideous heat wave from Folly road so I am assuming the two HC-130J are correct from the heads up

I believe they should be visible from Folly Road.

Without heat haze they would be readable from Folly but a closer view is from pollards lane

Both HC-130 departed around 7am this morning as I discovered when I rolled up at 08:30 to photo them!

The Navy Herc just went at about 09:30

( There is a muntjac wandering around inside the base)

It was posted yesterday that the two HC-130J's were due out at 0730. Hope the muntjac posts a list of what he sees :thumbs:
