Maybe it’s the introduction of the A400?

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

The RAF were originally set on retiring all the Hercules (was 14 C.4 and 10 C.5s).

However as far as I can recall, they are only retiring all but one of the C.5s due to the C.4 written off in 2017. And retaining the C.4s that will go through wingbox mods
