"This painting was commissioned by Lockheed Martin to
celebrate 40 years of cooperation with Marshall Aerospace of
Cambridge on the C130. The Hercules has been around now for over
50 years. It was first operational with the RAF in April 1967.
As a keen watcher of military aviation in war, peacekeeping,
providing aid or just attending air shows, I have always been
aware of the role the Herc has fulfilled in many
air forces around the world. I fully expect the new C130-J, as
a modern and advanced version of this great aircraft, to go on
for another 40 years!" - Alex Hamilton |
