That's interesting, a mix of matte and gloss finishes.

Those RAF C130's will show up all over the place. This is at Paso
Robles, California in 2013. They had been taking part in combined
exercises at Fort Hunter-Liggett, and flew in to the 2013 "Warbirds
Over Paso" to take in, and be a static part of the show.

And the type B low-viz roundels. Always thought it was a nice looking
aircraft.

Cool.

We were lucky back then that both Abbostford and NAS Whidbey Island
seemed to have good connections with the RAF. Lots of Nimrods,
Vulcans & Victors. And a beautiful RN Lynx off the HMS Birmingham (if
I could find the slides.)
