Closed Retain and maintain the RAF's last 14 C-130 Hercules aircraft

Closed on

I would like the Government to stop retiring the last 14 RAF C-130 Hercules in 2023. These should be retained, and maintenance undertaken to ensure they can remain operational.

The Hercules C-130 is the work horse of the RAF. It can land & take off on a very short strip of land, even a sandy beach. As just proved in Afghanistan, it is a very useful aircraft with a great record.
