Parked at the dedicated RAF platform at Kandahar. This Juliet made its first flight on 3 May'99 as N4249Y. The Herc was delivered as a Hercules C5 to the RAF on 28 Jul'99. The Herc made its last flight on 19 Jan'17 from Brize Norton to Marshalls Cambridge. It was stored and offered for sale. Its RAF serial was cancelled on 3 Jul'18. It was sold to Bangladesh as 99-5482/S3-AGF and was delivered as such on 18 May'20. It is seen here without the large green painting on the forward fuselage, which is reportedly an extra layer to prevent gravel damage to the fuselage when landing on dirt-strips.
