Re: Topic of the week-4 :: C-130 Hercules
Not much diversification here, fortunate to see RAAF C130J's at our local strip
on a regular basis for training. Arrive in the afternoon perform around an hour
of touch and goes, then park up and do touch and goes into the night.

Desert scheme at Mildenhall in 1984. In the air.
And on the ground in 1981.
At Farnborough in 1982.
Not seen any with military vehicles coming out of them, at the same show.
At Fairford.

Re: Topic of the week-4 :: C-130 Hercules
I like this shot but I have a question not related to the competition and sorry for the thread drag but I've noticed, over the past few years, that there are a few Hercules airframes within the RAF, that have this patchwork paint appearance, is it intentional or is there another reason for it?FarnboroJohn wrote: ↑Sat 18 Dec 2021, 9:03 am20190717 (7)_ZH870_Lockheed_C-130J_Hercules_C4 by John Dixon, on Flickr
I intend modelling an RAF Hercules like this, at some stage, in the future...
...and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in Space cos there's bugger all down here on Earth!

Re: Topic of the week-4 :: C-130 Hercules
Compliment appreciated: I assume it's to do with deep maintenance/fatigue mods/other life extension, the areas seem to be mostly symmetrical. Does make for a striking appearance! Hopefully someone can tell us the actual programme.TonyC wrote: ↑Sat 18 Dec 2021, 5:12 pmI like this shot but I have a question not related to the competition and sorry for the thread drag but I've noticed, over the past few years, that there are a few Hercules airframes within the RAF, that have this patchwork paint appearance, is it intentional or is there another reason for it?FarnboroJohn wrote: ↑Sat 18 Dec 2021, 9:03 am20190717 (7)_ZH870_Lockheed_C-130J_Hercules_C4 by John Dixon, on Flickr

Re: Topic of the week-4 :: C-130 Hercules
Dear All, what a great selection of the much loved C-130 Hercules in a huge variety of guises.
Very difficult to choose and a touch and go between Capercaillie for the NC-130H at Edwards (a new one on me) and Seamus for the low level C-130J in Devon. However as a low level enthusiast the winner is Seamus for the Devon low level C-130J in great autumn/winter light.
Over to you Shaun
