Again - the gear horn warning CB is only tripped during Tac AT sorties.

If it happened to be tripped during this incident then it wasn't intentional.

The C130K fleet should, and would have, been scrapped years ago if the RAF/MOD had got it's act together with the C130J EP.

Can you actually believe we are only just getting the correct radios, external tanks() and the clearances to drop certain loads 5 years after the decision was made to replace the C130K in certain roles.

We'd have all been much better off if she'd been retired gracefully at the top of her game as opposed to going out with a wimper after an incident caused by our lords and masters ignorance of the paucity of front-line training
