In my time on the C130 we lost 6 ac, half to hostile action, including 2 with all on board killed. Military flying is a hazardous business but fortunately not as bad as it used to be.

When I first went to Biggin Hill I recall being told that there was a roughly 20% chance that we wouldn’t get to collect our pensions. The odds have clearly improved considerably since then and even they were presumably based on past trends.
