I assume that's some kind of IR suppressor above and behind the engine exhaust. In the end they went with this, seen on 89--0510 which joined the CTF a year later

Mmmm.... A proper Herc - the right shape and with the right engines - with man-sized peashooters :) . Very nice, Sven.

That is one smart beastie Sven. Thanks for posting.

On the premise that you can never have too many gunships I've taken the liberty of adding this one to your thread.

Taken at Prestwick in Feb 2016 as far as I remember.

I think it looks better in the colours in your pics though.
