Given that it shouldn't be too hard to flat bits of Swedenland to bounce off, what is a Swedish Herc doing ploughing up bits of Wiltshire? I know Boscombe has got a Gripen to play with and a Swedish C-130 was moving the Reds about recently so what's going on here then?:confused:

Its just come out of a C Check at Marshall's! If it's just come out of Marshall's why risk sending it back to Marshall's (instead of Sweden) after landing in a rabbit's warren. :confused:
Hi Gents
As far as i know it flew in from Sweden to Lyneham Monday and flew out again Friday
The course was for the Swedish guys on the ground to learn

Well, I suppose that Lyneham and Co have had a fair bit of experience in rough field ops. Best get some mud (rock) flaps on those cabs herrar!
So, is the Flygvapnet going to join us in a warm and sandy place, then?;)

The Swedes have been using their C-130s in Afghanistan for years. Since 2002 Sweden has supported and contributed military forces. The mains hubs were in Uzbekistan and United Arab Emirates. C-130s were then used to fly into Mazar. Swedish C-130s are also used to support other forces in Afghanistan such as Lithuania.

Thanks. I was aware that Carl Gustavs boys (and girls ..... hej Emma! .....:}) were active in the sandpit, I was wondering if this Herc heralded a bigger push by the Swedes. Thanks for the link.
