Flip,
In all seriousness this makes it all the more surprising to read the comments of the Minister of State for the Armed Forces in a letter to a constituent written on 07 Aug 2002.
"On the C130 Hercules aircraft engaged in Afghanistan area of operations firstly I can assure you that all C130 aircraft operating in Afghanistan are provided with a suite of defensive aids.........We are confident that for all military flights into Afghanistan appropriate self-protection measures are in place."
Maybe this is why the MoD does not comment on such matters any more....
