Not sure why this pic was taken! Maybe United were carrying Aviation fuel? Regards Chris

Hi Chris, maybe taken at Marshalls Aerospace Cambridge while C130 Hercules was on service but often wrong. Few years ago I gave a lift to a Smith and Robinsons driver (United) who lived near the A1 Bedford area who mainly done night changeover. He said he had left his tanker at Marshalls Cambridge and was on refuling. I worked for S&R Urmston Manchester early 1980s then moved to Norfolk and worked out of RAF bases for the MOD. It was costly to move kit on exercise to far off countries as the squadron would need at least 20 x C130 Hercules payload approx 19 tons. The MOD had hired this aircraft raf.mod.uk/equipment/c17aglobemaster.cfm
