Rumour on the fence was a Dutch, Belgian, Polish, Romanian and Canadian Herc are to join next Sunday, maybe even a French C160. Don't shoot me if this doesn't appear to be true...

Visiting was C-32B 99-6143, I was happy enough to catch it as it departed though not in the best spot for a decent shot...
