It is right to highlight the problems faced by Hercs (old and new) - not to mention ALL RAF AT - flying in-theatre. The boys and girls who fly these ac and the trusting passengers that they carry deserve so much better protection than has been afforded them in the past.
Good luck - you have my total support.

I too, am also astounded about the lack of forethought that seems to have gone into the procurement of A400M - pitiful!
