RAF C-130K Hercules in Storage : St Athan Dec 2013

[CoffmanStarter]

Very sad to see ... but some fine images here by Tom Gibbons and Mike Shreeve.

Following last month’s retirement of the Lockheed C-130K Hercules from RAF service, Global Aviation Resource visited MOD St Athan to view the Hercules aircraft stored within the Defence Support Group’s vast ‘Super Hangar’.

A report by Tom Gibbons ...

The fuselages of the ones previously broken were for sale at 95k each. They appear to have left them off the survivors list.

how high is that hangar?

[NutLoose]

It's impressive isn't it, and to think we closed a load of Saints and flogged it off, would have been ideal as a Lyneham replacement ;)

Indeed, and that is only one of the three hangars...

[JFZ90]

is it high enough for a c17?
