While banking a little to the left, XV196 (FMS serial 65-13041) is arriving at Alconbury during a logistic flight. The C1 was delivered to the Royal Air Force on 23 June 1967 and assigned to the Lyneham Transport Wing (LTW). In the course of its entire career it flew with this Wing. The Herc made its last flight on 4 September 2013 from RAF Brize Norton to St. Athan where it was stored. Although attempts were made to sell it, the aircraft was scrapped in 2017. A few remaining parts are reportedly moved to Old Sarum (UK) with the Boscombe Down Aircraft Collection.

On a day with no wind smoke is piling up behind this Herk on holding point.

Still in brown/sand camouflage, but the original white section above the cockpit had gone by 1975.

Low approach and go-around on runway 35.
