C-130 Hercules ahead of their retirement (Princess Anne in a helicopter)

Описание: One of the last C-130J Hercules still in service with the Royal Air Force flies over it's own retirement parade for 47 Squadron at RAF Brize Norton. The event was attended by Princess Anne in one of the royal helicopters.

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules has been in service with the Royal Air Force for 56 years, having arrived at Marshall's in Cambridge, in 1966. The latest type, the C-130J, will still continue flying for the Air Mobility Force until at least the 30th June before going back to Marshall's for decommissioning.

The retirement of the transport plane will mark the end of an era for the UK's Armed Forces, having been involved in many operations, exercises and events over the years. It is expected to flyover London for the King's birthday flypast on June 17th, as it did so for Queen Elizabeth II for many years.
