the end of the road for RAF Hercs!
« on: January 15, 2011, 10:03:16 pm »
 The chaps at Valley passed this on to me. An interesting aricle in a few UK papers in the vicinity of Stafford are currently running a story that retired Hercs from Lyneham are traveling to Staffordshire by Road to be finally dismantled. It appears they will be recycled at the former RAF Hixon near Stone.

attached is a sad link for the BBC for your view:

From what I hear,the C-130K`s are getting the chop very soon and the C-130J`s are to be retired 10 years earlier than planned as the A400M comes into service.

Not much good news coming from the RAF at the moment. :(
