(asked on 24th July 2019) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment she has made of the UK's airlift capability since the sale of five UK-surplus Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules transport aircraft to Bangladesh.
This question was answered on 3rd September 2019
The five aircraft sold to Bangladesh were surplus and awaiting disposal. Therefore, this sale has had no impact on the Air Transport fleet.
We have retained 14 C-130J aircraft, and A400M also provides an Air Transport role.
