This is how rumours start.
Defence Industrial Strategy
A 145 page White Paper
Early on it mentions the 'Out of Service Date' for the C130K as 2008
But way down on Page 85, para B4.10: "....C130K came into service in 1968 and the current fleet, which comprises 25 aircraft, is planned to be phased out from 2008.
'...from...'
One little, ambiguous, non-committal word.
And a large group of people are none the wiser. They expect loyalty?
Already the rumour is that we are scrapping the K's in 2008! I was whispered this on Friday, but this is where the rumour originated from.
My guess is that there's life in the old dog yet. And on a personal note, my fingers are confidently crossed!
