In 2 weeks the last C130J will be retired by the RAF, in service with us since 1966 in one form or another it will be really sad to see the old Herc's go

Maybe for the RAF but as I passed over Donaldson Center this afternoon I saw at least three on the tarmac in bare metal fresh out of the depot.
 
Its just the RAF retiring them...or selling them to India ...
I suppose as the Army continues to shrink we have less need for transport. I think things will be restructured or are being restructured and i think NATO will be wound down probably replaced by a European based military alliance. No one is going to forget Bidens withdrawal from Afghanistan where he forgot to tell his supposed best friend and military partner here in the UK :)
