C130K Hercs

Posted by simon king on Fri Apr 25, 2003 02:46:57 PM

I note that another 3 C130Ks have been disposed of - this time to Austria.

With "valuable" aircraft such as these, which still have life left in them, is there any policy to retain at least one for the "national" collection of RAF aircraft?

A similar situation occured with the Challenger 1 tanks which went en masse to Jordan - the only ones left for/in Museums are test and prototype vehicles IIRC - compare the situation with Chieftans - "yours for ?12000, sir - never raced or rallied"

Thoughts anyone?
