Hopefully, the replacement will be a C-130J. Here's a video of the "J" performing at the Farnborough Air Show 2018.

Funny that you showed the C-130J at Farnborough.

Ironically enough, the U.S. Navy has already contracted with the UK to purchase an RAF C-130J for use as Fat Albert's replacement.

I did not know that the RAF had put their Hercules C Mk 5 aircraft in storage. I wonder how many hours the airframe will have on it when the Navy takes possession.

I have a lot of experience on the "J" and know the pilot that flies the airshows.
