For a number of years Marshall Aerospace ran a fatigue test rig, on behalf of the MoD for the c130K wing, at the time of switch off, this was at aprox double that, at the time, of the forecast requirement. (aprox 4 years ago if I recall correctly) Marshall was then tasked with fatigue testing the C130K fuselage, alongside the wing of a C130J, I belive these tests are up and running running. Question could be asked why the C130K wing test was stopped, when the aircraft still had 10 years remaining service
