The newly designed Herc was a real hit with the crews. Although there was no space for the microwave, they could now fit it through the drivethru at McDs.

The Defence Secretary was happy, as there was now enough room at Brize Norton for the Entire AT and AAR fleets.

Despite the slight issue about the scale of the drawings and the actual result, the important thing was that there was still room for the Loadies golf clubs in the back!


The JSDF had cut the programme back a bit but it was still fitted with Explosion Suppressant Foam in the tanks. ()

After some initial resistance the new ALBDS (Automated Lumpy Box Delivery System) is proving a hit with large boned AT crews. With its passive lard detection & active salad dodging arrays, AT growbags are secure in the knowledge that their lumpy boxes will get through!

In line with planned manpower cut backs the RAF is looking for an aircraft capable of carrying 50% of the army in a single flight.
