The Kuwait Herc is two tone grey, judging by the list of whats currently at Cambridge I'd say with some confidence thats what you saw.

Isn't the USMC KC-130J also two tone grey?

Good point, if it was two tone grey camoflauge then it was the Kuwaiti. If it was predominately light grey with an even lighter grey on the bottom then it was the USMC 👍👍

Really? It flew TWICE and no reports in the 'Heads Up' section yesterday. I presume it will go out on delivery soon, another one missed.
