Myriad of Military at Bournemouth

Post by Ledhead27 »

Over the past two weeks there's been a few interesting odds and sods knocking around at Bournemouth, including the following more interesting military movements. It's believed the C-37B was visiting in conjunction with the commissioning of HMS Queen Elizabeth.

5. Not modern military but doesn't really necessitate its own thread. Today saw long-term resident Folland Gnat T.1, XR537/G-NATY, loaded onto the back of a low-loader. It's believed that this aircraft, formerly the mount of Red 1, is being transported to North Weald for eventual restoration to airworthiness.

They don't go in for insignia for their C-37s in the US Navy do they? I wonder why?

Nice catches though, the Omani Hercules isn't exactly common is it?! Thanks for sharing :up:
