Hercules

Hercules is the hero of the skies we never talk about. First to land in any combat zone and last out, the Hercules always unflashily gets the job done - whether that's a risky air drop or hauling out troops in an emergency evac. Also working as an aerial tanker, gunship, spyplane, air-sea rescuer and even a precision bomber, its versatility has time and again seen the Hercules give the RAF their edge - from Antarctica to Iraq, Afghanistan to the Falklands. Captain Scott Bateman drags us into the cockpit and buckles us in for an extraordinary pilot's seat view of this aircraft's 50-year history. Anytime. Anywhere. Anyhow.
