Moving out from its parking spot at deployment base Kandahar air field for another mission, this dark green C3A. The Herk, once delivered under the US Foreign Military Sales programme (serial 66-8559) and delivered to the RAF in 1967, was immediately assigned to the Lyneham Transport Wing (LTW). The aircraft made its very last flight for the LTW on 18 April 2013 from RAF Brize Norton (UK) to St. Athan (UK) and was then stored at St. Athan. It was there cannibalized where it was last reported in early 2017. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
