C130 Explosive-Suppressant Foam

Just been listening to that John Reid on the Channel 4 news talking about the above. He stated that the C130's that were serving on 47 Squadron are already being fitted with the explosive-suppressant foam devices, is that true as I've not heard of them being done?

He's also quoted a figure of £50,000 per aircraft for the mod, if it costs that little it should have been done a long time ago! How can you put a price on life? Don't suppose he's bothered though, he's looking forward to a crack at home secretary soon!

Makes your blood boil!
