See the playlist of C-130 Hercules during their retirement period, including several events to mark the end of the type's service with the RAF: ruclips.net/p/PLnAhJyL1opj5RNV62Fz9qDjQxvJfPmi4d
Many years ago while in the British Army, I had the misfortune of flying from Hannover in Germany to Calgary in Canada in a Hercules. What a flight that was, 3 stops & a overnight stay in Gander, Newfoundland 😅
Now we have all our transport fleet on one base and not 2 , this goes against all sense of military logic ,when Johnny red comes down the north sea with his version of storm shadow is it not better to use two bases not one as he has to attack 2 not 1.
This government driven by cost savings and nothing else much like Blair did , have not listened to the SF community they have dedicated C130J's with extra kit that they need for specific ops ,the Atlas as yet does not have it plus it is louder so WTF are they playing at.
The C130 Hercules Airplane has been a fantastic aircraft and served well it is a shame that this fabulous aircraft is to go to retirement a blooming shame

Going to be a sad and historic day when these bow out after so many years of faithful service 😢
Their history for this country is immeasurable. It will be a sad day indeed.
Saddest day ever.... My lad was in 47 squadron for years..... loved that plane.... bye bye fat Albert......

Grew up in Lyneham. I'll be very sad to see the Herc retired
The UK special force's want to keep it because it's quieter than the Airbus Atlas at low level.
