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.

Thanks anyway, it was worth a shot.

Regards

Outside at 9am
165739 and 166472/BH black tail

List updated 10th July to delete 169532 which departed today having arrived on 8th March 2024.

15-07, between 15:00 - 16:00

165739 got towed, KC-3806 is outside, 525 arrived.

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

They change from time to time.

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.

Great list
But it says 505 twice for the Omani instead one as 525

Thanks for highlighting, I have corrected it

Good Morning,
Can anyone please advise if the Indian Herk K-3806 is still outside from earlier in the week ?
Thanks and regards,
Paul

Only foreign C130 out today is below.

525 arr. 15th July 24 Oman.

MAK outside mixed in with old raf hercs

Seen this morning ADSB here:
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?

At 13.45 hours we noted outside:
214/MAK
165739/QB
KC3806

Visitor:
064/YY

Cheers
Theo

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
