Bring back the Andover.
You joke (I presume), but it strikes me as strange how the smallest airlifter in UK service will shortly be the A400M! I understand the MoD's arguments about the financial implications of sustaining three separate platform types, but what it seems to miss is that the C-130J, A400M and C-17 are each providing niche capabilities and are not duplicating each other's roles.
