Think the Herc may be inbound Bournemouth, seem to recall somebody there has done their maintenance for many years - certainly recall seeing the 1-11s there on my visits and an A319 (?) heading in and out on FR24.
Oman AF have been coming to Hurn (BOH) with freight flights since the 1960s. It used to be once every 2 weeks.
Started with DC-3s, then Viscounts, 1-11s and then C130s.
It used to be tied up with Airwork. Not sure who does the supply/shippping these days.
I don't think any maintenance is done on the C130s though.
