Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

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

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.

More details

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.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
