There has been a bit in the media re our current C-130J-30 being replaced by the latest version C-130J-30, with up to 24 new airframes being procured with delivery scheduled to start towards the end 2020s.
This obviously leads to a lot of speculation but until the official announcement is made by Government we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out. Replies:
