Mil,
...err, because, if you read the thread starter's original question, he wants to know if any live operations were carried out with a Hercules tanker. I am able to answer his question in the affirmative but not give specific details. Thus helping a fellow Ppruner without compromising the official secrets act.
Reading through this thread has jogged my memory though: I have conducted AAR operations from a Hercules tanker in a Nimrod en-route to and from the Falkland Islands.
