Hello friends. I would need your knowledge concerning this technical manual. The French Air Force only received these C130s in 1986/1987. Who was this manual intended for?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Tinyclark, thank you for this information about these portholes. I think you have solved this "mystery". Thank you for your help.

Laurent,   Have you been rummaging through an antique shop.  Am guessing you might be lucky and find a crusty old sergeant in assisted living facility, who, if he doesn't  have dementia may remember these components.  One thing for sure, you won't find these pieces on anything flying today.    The ramp and door control panel may be off a 54/55 A model.  

Just my attempt at humor.

Hi Larry, I really appreciate your sense of humor! I'm going to publish these photos on the 317th TCG website, I have a lot of Veteran friends who worked on the C130 in the 60's.
Thank you for your reply.

I cant help you with the black box it's an Air Force specific system, The Hydraulic panel is the control panel for the aft cargo door and ramp. Are you putting together your own air craft?

Hi,

Can you help me to identify these two Lockheed C130 aircraft parts?.And where these parts were located in the C130.

These parts are for an old or current aircraft?

Thank you so much for your help.

What specifically?  It looks like orange on the tail...maybe arctic markings?  Same with rudder.  Just a thought...

Hello Metalbasher, in fact what is strange are the red and white bands on the rudder. Only this aircraft has worn this kind of markings.I think without being sure, that this marking is commemorative recalling the creation of this unit during the Second World War, and who was affected in the Pacific?

Hello everyone,
I would have liked to have explanations about these strange markings on the tail of this plane.
Thanks for your help.
Laurent.

Hi Kevin, thank you for your quick response. Indeed the number of rivets is different, this is very explicit.
So Kevin, the probability that it's a part of Lockheed C130 is by how much in percentage?
Thank you.
Laurent

Hello everyone,
I need help with these two American airplane portholes. They come from the former NATO Evreux air base. As you know, at that time, on this air base, there were Fairchild C119 then Lockheed C130.
These two portholes are 34cm wide.
The markings found are: 59 R 12
                                                          337501
                                                           337592
Hoping you could help me?
Thank you so much.
