B-679 Royal Danish Air Force Lockheed C-130H Hercules arriving runway 26 at RAF Northolt

From a collection of some 430 Military slides that I've had scanned from my archives. Hope they will provide some enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age.

Taken a mere 42 years ago :)

Whilst awaiting the arrival of the weekly French Air Force Noratlas, I was pleased to capture B-679 Lockheed C-130H of the Royal Danish Air Force, whichmade a fine sight catching the morning sunshine on final approach to runway 26 at RAF Northolt - in the old dayglo livery 😍:)

The RDAF only operated three Hercules - this one alongside B-678 and B-680 - and all three still operating with the Egyptian Air Force!

Taken using a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and 300mm lens. I was using Ektachrome film for this one, hence the grain! From an original slide, scanned and unrestored.
