Chris Gibson's forthcoming On Atlas' Shoulders includes material on the BAC-222, Tyne-powered STOL Hercules.  Probably the first time good data on this project has become available.

I did not know about this book Evan. A quick visit over to Secret Projects got me this topic: http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,27277.0.html

Another view of the tri-jet C-130:

All hail the God of Frustration!!!

You can't outrun Death forever.
But you can make the Bastard work for it.

Want to give your C-130 that Russian look?  Try the "Assault C-130" with new GE34 engines and the Hamilton Standard counter-rotating propellers:

Perhaps an auxiliary engine for each wing to provide bleed for blown flaps and ailerons, much as on Lockheed's ATTB variant of the earlier C-130 generation (I've also seen mention that the BAC.222 variant used auxiliary compressors driven off each Tyne for flap blowing).

You now have permission to build a Luftwaffe C-130J.

Germany has announced plans to purchase ‘between 4-6’ C-130J Super Hercules from Lockheed Martin.

It says the C-130Js will be used for ‘special operations support’ and that they will operate from airstrips ‘unavailable’ to the Airbus A400M Atlas.

The new aircraft will be ready for service from 2021 and they will be operated in co-operation with the French MoD.

The news comes as a serious blow for the Airbus aircraft, of which Luftwaffe has now received five  A400Ms.

The A400M currently offers only limited deployment capabilities, and has suffered from delivery delays. The Luftwaffe has also experienced engine problems and was scheduled to have received nine Atlas by the end of this year, from a total of 53 ordered.

But smaller, that's the proposed production C-142.  Still, it would be interesting to see the same approach done to a C-130.  I wonder if you would need more powerful engines than the T56?  One thing the engines would need is an oil and drain system that would work in all attitudes of the engine (one reason the XV-15 used T53 engines was the work done to develop such a variant of the T53 for the XC-142 and Hiller X-18).

In my experience I find that certain images won't load at work, but will at home. It's a weird problem that means I'll need to visit some threads twice to see everything!

There was a strange C-130 parked across the other side of runway 17R at Calgary International today which has got me intrigued ( I was watching it from the terminal where I was working). For starters, it was parked on Million Air's ramp (military aircraft usually go down to Apron 6 and sit on the Shell building ramp). Then I noticed it had no markings that you could see, and I watched it most of the day in different light as the sun went over us. I could see that it had what could be a serial number, this was because it was a darker grey to the quite light grey the aircraft was painted all over with. Except the nose radome, that was black. I could see on the side it was facing me that it had an oval or oblong bump, just behind and a little lower than the low cockpit window.

This one, sorry about the size, but my cell phone was zoomed in to the max and then to get it to show here I had to crop it

Actually a Bell proposal for a a STOL jet transport in the same competition that led to the YC-14 and YC-15, these never-the-less give cool ideas for jet C-130s:
