Adam Ingram has just issued the following written answer to a
parliamentary question from Mike Hancock:
"We have decided, subject to final contract negotiations, to fit some
of our C-130s with Explosion Suppressant Foam, and expect the first
aircraft to be ready for operational tasking within the next few
months."
So there is the confirmation. Still no news about numbers for the J which makes me slightly suspicious I will attempt to firm this up.
Another question for Mr Ingram
Mr Mike Hancock (Portsmouth South): To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with his counterparts in other countries on the merits of fitting a fuel tank inerting system to the A400M aircraft.
