Thankyou for that heads up - I'd been wondering where he might be heading next.

Hi all, we nipped in Cambridge on the way home yesterday and the South African Herc was outside mixed amongst the ex RAF lot. Could help someone.

Also, would anyone know the USN herc next to the tower please.

Thank you Ant

Hello AntMan.
I was there yesterday at about 12 noon and the USMC KC130J 170039/BH was between the hangars and behind the tower last three read off the nose. Note although this is coded BH it is currently operated by VMGR-153 and may end up being recoded correctly as KB whilst it is at Cambridge. I specifically went to see it yesterday as this was the first opportunity I had since it arrived and luckily it has been outside ever since it arrived presumably due to current lack of space in hangars.
Regards,
Robert Harris

Have a great day, Ant
