Every picture tells a story, and the story here, according to the stencil markings, is ‘Urinal Use Only – No Slops’. Such are the sanitary facilities in the Hercules cargo hold, rendering every long-distance passenger flight a pleasure… Sadly no longer for the RAF, though – the C130K has been retired from the service after forty-six years; this example was on display at the Brize Norton photo call to mark the event.
