Taken from Wormingford Glider Club Essex as they headed from Cavendish way point to Colly Garrison. Thanks for the info updates here on FC, hopefully we will see some of the loop shots floating on social media here soon too.

Great shots Nick, with the light on right side.
I caught them just after they passed the Humber Bridge, they were against the light and #3 was straggling a bit, but hey ho got them.
Thanks for posting

I really like the positioning of the three in the first shot.

Nice! I was on Abbey Field, Colchester but unfortunately was shooting into the sun.

Right place, right time, great shots. Thanks for sharing them.

Great shots! The grouping makes for better shots than the line astern they adopted at Leeming (but it was still good, albeit sad to see!). Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the comments guys. A fantastic tour around much of the U.K. and good to see the other shots from various locations. I hoped they would form up for Colchester where the 16th Air Assault are stationed. Fortunately they did.

The Hercs are in service until the end of June. Another chance to catch them on Saturday for the Trooping the Colour Flypast, featuring the 3 C-130’s.
