Sorry to cut in on the condolences:
Media are now saying insurgents are claiming the Herc as a shoot-down. Doesn't change anything re the dead and is probably terorist propaganda anyway.
I'm not up on the RAF Sqns so don't know if this (47 Sqn) was a spec ops Herc, or however they are referred to. If it was, there probably won't be much more detail forth-coming.
Sincere condolences to the families.
