The posts could of course have disappeared because the thread starter changed the thread title (as requested) so as not to cause unnecessary angst....
I'd never suggest that though as a conspiracy theory is far more likely.
Very glad to gear that there were only 2 minor casualties. (Plus a few heart attacks when the planners try to devise a new plot with 1 less airframe

The Wiltshire base has confirmed that the C-130J plane was destroyed but that the aircraft crew and passengers were safe.
Well done to the guys for getting out.

Old News Recycled ?
Hey - Wasn't this the aircraft that was pictured (a series of pictures) in the Sun before Christmas? The pictures showed it on the landing run and then a fire/explosion in the port fuselage/wing. There was then another picture of the a/c being blown up to deny it to the enemy.

Herc Incident in Iraq.
Glad the crew & pax all made it out A O.K.
Just leaves the problem of how we're going to meet all committments having lost 2 Hercs in the past 6 mths. Is Des going to ask Big Gordy to open the biscuit tin for some attritition replacements, or we will just 'soldier-on' until the A400-M arrives???
Same topic different angle......hope the pilot wan't the same one who gave that fantastic (E.O. based - NOT!!) interview to the Sunday Times!!
Body Armour Donned - a/w Incoming!!
