I think you are referring to the HCDC report. This is a snippet re Herc foam,
20.We note that the safety of C-130 Hercules remains an issue of concern to aircrew in theatre. While we welcome the decision to fit Explosion Suppressant Foam to some Hercules, we believe that it should be fitted to all Hercules in operational theatres. We are alarmed by the suggestion that the MoD might not be fitting protective systems because of the impact on other priorities. The protection of our Armed Forces should be given the highest priority. (Paragraph 74)
21.We seek reassurance from the MoD that lessons will be learned and safety features will be integrated in the plans for the A400M. (Paragraph 75)
I am on the case. Last time I spoke with the office of AOC 2 was 18 days ago and I was assured everything was ok. Will do some checking up. The Chairman of HCDC is in no mood to take bull from the MoD. It could be a case of overstretch and overtasking, we will see.
