wanted to adapt the old skydel
Which just demonstrates the utter ludditery that plagues the AT fleet.
Not sure, but believed to include new avionics upgrade as well as wing replacement for all 9 remaining C130K Mk1/3Aa
And if that were true, it too would also demonstrate how far the RAF AT world had managed to get it's head up it's own arse
If they really were worried about a gap in AT capability (this is INTRA-theatre AT we're talking about here, not big, Brize stuff) then they couldn't go far wrong binning the
bulk of the K fleet that's left and tipping the resources and manpower freed up in generating more
Js onto the flightline every day. The amount of time, effort and resources that are poured into keeping the K fleet going is wholly disproportionate to the airlift effect that is returned.
That said, this is Lyneham we're talking about and nothing makes much sense here anyway
