    Notes: This C-130 was not part of the museum. At one point it seems that Sussex airport, Georgetown Delaware, was a staging point for returned Lend-Lease (?) C-130s from several countries, including the UK and Australia. At one point Google earth showed many C-130 airframes littered around the field in various states from totally derilict to what seemed intact. By the time I got to visit the airfield only parts of about 5 C-130s were left. Including this airframe. Photo taken at Georgetown, Sussex Airport, Delaware
