FMS serial 65-12905, accepted by the RAAF in December 1966. Sold back to the manufacturer on 6 July 2000, then stored at Georgetown/Sussex County Ap (DE) from March 2001. The Herc was broken up for spare parts for the six other former RAAF C-130s that were sold to Pakistan.

One of 28 C-130s stored at Sussex County Airport (GED) in Georgetown, Delaware. Seven were former Royal Australian Air Force and 21 former Royal Air Force. I believe they were all taken in trade by Lockheed for C-130J aircraft. Most, if not all, of the RAF aircraft were scrapped at the airport and I believe most, if not all, of the RAAF were sold and departed the field. The aircraft were parked on a disused runway that had a track installed for ejection seat testing in the 1950s and later used to store retired United Airlines Viscounts. The C-130's were gone in a few years.

Annual Operation Manna celebrations

Unit: 37 Sqn. Air show at the now closed Hoxton Park airport. Rain had ruined the show until the RAAF came to the rescue with this low pass.

This rare visitor took part in celebrations of Allied food droppings in 1945.
