AA62
I remember the equipment your report (correctly) stated was the main airworthiness concern on C-130. AMSO had ordered all spares to be scrapped, and Lyneham were forced to attempt Depth C/D when they were only scaled for Depth A/B. Our concern was where they were getting spares from, how they were certified, and ultimately tested and declared serviceable without pubs or test equipment. It wasn't so much a suspicion of counterfeit, but that they'd been forced to attempt repairs beyond their capability. This proved the case, with (e.g.) severe cracking in radar gearboxes. And still AMSO refused to do anything. Eventually your luck runs out.... (When I say AMSO, I mean DGSM and above. Air Cdre and below were appalled).
