Doing aerobatics in a glider takes a very special kind of courage..... you wouldn't get me doing it!

All are impressive shots! Even more impressive I think is the one of the departing C-130. Nice job as always.

What you did miss was a delightful aerial ballet by Carolyn Grace in ML407
Well....I saw her takeoff from the railway, and watched her display from the station as I waited for a bus

Eh, didn't notice that. On first glance it looks J because of the stretched fuselage.

i do not think it's the J model becauseit only has 4 props and they are flat not curved. So i think its a E model.
I love these shots mate they are wicked!
Just to really confuse you, I think you'll find it's a K model Herc (basically an E), which is significantly older than the J model - one of the things Lockheed Martin didn't consider when selling the C130J to it's launch customer (the RAF!)!

it is indeed a K model

I prefer them to the Js.....they look more like proper Hercs

Also I got a bit bored with the J when I went to Lyneham, and the only hercs about were Js.....gets a bit tiring after a while
