Hercules C130J
A C130J Hercules transport aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force is pictured flying over the Norwegian countryside.
The RAF has a total of 25 C-130J C4/C5 aircraft. The C4 is almost the same size as the current C3 aircraft, but with a slightly shorter fuselage, while the C5 is the same size as the C1.
The C-130J has been modified and upgraded to include new Allison AE turboprop engines and Dowty Aerospace six-bladed composite propellers.
The new engines and advanced propellers, coupled with a new digital engine-control system, give the C-130J increased take-off thrust and better fuel efficiency; thus the external fuel tanks have been omitted

This print captures the majestic Hercules C130J, a formidable transport aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force, soaring gracefully over the picturesque Norwegian countryside. With a fleet of 25 C-130J C4/C5 aircraft at their disposal, the RAF's capabilities are truly awe-inspiring. Distinguishing itself from its predecessors, the C4 variant boasts similar dimensions to the renowned C3 aircraft but with a slightly shorter fuselage. On the other hand, the C5 model matches in size with its predecessor, the esteemed C1. However, both variants have undergone significant modifications and upgrades to enhance performance. Equipped with state-of-the-art Allison AE turboprop engines and Dowty Aerospace six-bladed composite propellers, this modernized version of Hercules offers improved take-off thrust and enhanced fuel efficiency. Notably efficient is its new digital engine-control system which eliminates external fuel tanks that were once necessary. Richard Ellis skillfully captures this momentous occasion where power meets serenity in an extraordinary display of aerial prowess. The image serves as a testament to both technological advancements and skilled piloting within our esteemed armed forces. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print showcasing military might amidst nature's splendor, we cannot help but be filled with admiration for those who serve diligently in defense of our nations' skies.
