RAF C-130 (ZH870) Retirement Tail

[C24]

Please look to the left They could have asked for a copy and crossed out the navy bit and put in Herc !

Not a very inspiring effort

Just a thought. Is there a sticky label on both sides of the fin?

Are there any plans for a farewell tour ?

Yes, Commander Air Wing Brize Norton on the Threshold shoot mentioned it - they are aiming for a 6 and half hour tour of the UK covering the important and sentimental locations of the Herc with three of them carrying out the tour - it was mentioned at the time that they were just putting together a route map to be published and that was imminent but nothing seems to have come out yet - but think he mentioned the 14th was the date it would be happening.

Not sure on their route once they headed south from Lossiemouth, anyone any idea if they overflew the memorial to those lost in the May 1993 crash of XV193 in Glen Loch?

From memory they flew much further East, more towards Blairgowrie and were fairly high 150fl
