Hi Stn Ramp Rat,

Drove past CBG today and saw several Hercs parked outside hangars with what looked like RAF colourscheme. Couldn't investigate further as on my way to Papworth Hospital. I assume they are on your list but is there any possibility you can narrow down the identities for me.

Appreciated

They change from time to time and usually a couple are inside so sadly, they have to be read off to be sure which ones they are.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is it known which 11 RAF Hercs are stored outside?

And for these 6 at western part and 5 near tower, all serials are painted over in green, so ID's impossible. Only for the spec colored blue/wh tail.

Omani 501 dep
ZH877 was pinging and showed level 25ft.
Did it fly, is this one of the stored ones outside , or a test from one from inside?

It has 214 on the tail. We noted it also parked outside this monday.

Does any one know the 12 stored former RAF Herc's?

Qatari 214/MAK still outside next to ex-RAF Herks
Speaking of which saw a news items today linking them with possible interest from Turkey
Whoever gets them I am sure they will be at a give-away price
