Finally out of the hangar, Royal Australian Air Force (A97-448) Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules and now wearing the "updated" camouflage and roundel (smaller).

Early in the month Microflite (VH-WVV) Airbus Helicopters EC130 T2 headed back south after being repainted (in QLD), sadly losing its Cherry Red with magenta and silver stripes.

Robert,

It looks like you caught the last Herc to be painted.

Article has pics of Herc during repainting (inside Hangar).
