Called in on my way home from Mildenhall. As always, it was difficult to get a clear view of some of the aircraft from the southern perimeter; maybe on my next visit I'll park up on the north side and try to find some better views. The sea of C-130 fins appear to be ex-RAF J versions. However I did glimpse (a bit of) the first of the South African AF C-130BZs which is in for major servicing/upgrading. Two USMC KC-130Js were clearly visible. The Bangladesh AF C-130J is ex-RAF ZH883.
Cambridge Airport will close some time between 2027 and 2030, and eventually become a housing estate. Marshall Aerospace are moving to Cranfield, in new facilities which will be built on the northern side of the airfield.
