And although its been around a while (in USAF service since 1993) and is often quoted as the best thing since sliced bread, the C17 hasn't be all smiles.

The question was "in all my years in the RAF that a) worked as it should from the start b) that cost what the agreed price was and c) was delivered on time."

So, yes, seriously, in RAF service (MoD leasing, crew training, introduction into service, MoD purchase etc) the C-17 fulfils these criteria. USAF experience - all prior to when the RAF got involved - is irrelevant.
