The American-built C-130 Hercules transport aircraft was an RAF workhorse well into the 21st Century from its UK debut in late 1966. Rugged, powerful, reliable and well-liked by its crews, this film uses archive footage and first-hand accounts to give some idea of the capabilities of Hercules and the sharp contrast between it and the aircraft that it replaced.

Dedicated to No 24 Squadron - the most exciting, enjoyable & memorable flying of my long career in aviation. Wonderful aircraft, marvelous people & fantastic social life. Cheers

Undoubtedly a very good transport aircraft. I had the pleasure of jumping out of one. With parachute of course

Spent 3 years working on C130 and Andovers 242 OCU at Thorney Island. Worked on some of these in in the video.

Ayoko Peke They’re not crazy big. Can’t carry crazy heavy loads either. Still a good plane though.

Did all the RAF Hercules were painted with camouflage scheme? Doesn't that mean that RAF Hercules mostly operated for the low-altitude flight?

+Alex Vostox Apart from initial delivery, they were all camouflaged. All aircraft apart from tankers, used to fly low level if mission required that. Tankers had a freight bay full of fuel tanks.

Brian May Thanks for the answer my friend. Although it was more than a year, I'm glad somebody answered. Thanks.

You are welcome, I looked at the video because it was nostalgia - many years of my life spent on C-130.
