I, probably like many, assumed we were talking about the venerable C130K, however, there are indeed a couple of 'Ks' about to retire. I can only go on experience from GW1, but, as part of a two man GE team allocated to see all C130 traffic through, bumping in to a two man VC10 GE team in the mess bar. We agreed a 12 on 12 off shift. One of each aircraft with the qualified man leading. Never worked in any team with more vim and vigour during my whole time in the service. I will always extract the urine from VC10 GE's, I would never disrespect either their commitment nor professionalism.

PS Boys, if you organise it, they will come.
