Nice video
On the Heavylift website it shows the belfast can carry more choppers then the C130 why did the RAF replace these beautys?

We in Support Helicopters in the late 1970's asked the very same question!!!
It took three times as many man hours to strip a Wessex or Puma for a C130 (less head room), than it did for the old Belfast (which could take two, as well).
