Anything but Hercules?
Do Marshalls now only work on Hercules or do they have other odds and ends still? Voyager maintenance and international A330-MRTT painting spring to mind as fairly recent non-Hercules jobs, alongside the UAE Global Express modifications (and not the RAF Wedgetail Conversion in the end) - is anything else like this under contract or in the pipeline?

I am not aware of any other projects at the moment. Apparently, they voluntarily handed back the wedgetail contract, so I assume it's just C130's now.

Thankyou, I guess they're content as they are then with just Hercules.STN RAMP RAT wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 3:00 pmI am not aware of any other projects at the moment. Apparently, they voluntarily handed back the wedgetail contract, so I assume it's just C130's now.

Relevant to this question, from a 2021 FlightGlobal Article...
Source:https://www.flightglobal.com/defence/in ... 05.articleThe company also has moved away from offering bespoke special mission aircraft conversions, which he says represent “an inefficient use of that depth capability”. This followed a deal to supply the United Arab Emirates with a pair of heavily-adapted Bombardier Global Express surveillance aircraft.
