I assume that the MoD is looking at the cargo aircraft with the roller floor and the big main deck cargo doors.

This is a robust aircraft by civil standards and quite up to taking some of the non tactical workload from the C130 fleet.

What I am not happy with is the military getting yet another ex-airline aircraft that is fast aproaching its sell by date, but at the end of the day as long as it is a stop gap and not an excuse to cancel the A400 or more C17's it will be welcome.
