Having been an ALM on Hercs, it will indeed be a sad day when we loose the C130 and it may be sometime before the Atlas A400M has the full para capability. But lets be honest there is a school of thought that since the last real Para Operational Jump was Suez in 1956 do we really need the full gambit. As long as we have a platform to do SF para tasks then we will have to wait until the Atlas does it all! Hat Coat etc!
