As the mighty RAF Hercules transport aircraft prepares for retirement, a jaw-dropping gallery shows the plane in action
Hercules' forthcoming stand-down from service is set to take place across all four nations of the United Kingdom on Wednesday, June 14. The planned routing by three aircraft will cover locations of significance to the Hercules' service and 47 Squadron.
For your chance to catch the flypast, they will be making their way from FS Aldergrove in Northern Ireland onto RAF Lossiemouth, then back down the East coast of Scotland. The Hercules is described as the RAF's primary tactical transport aircraft and in its current C.Mk 4 and C.Mk 5 versions of the C-130J-30 and C-130J, respectively, has been the backbone of UK operational tactical mobility tasks since it was brought into service in 1999.
