Here is the landing in its original picture ratio.
Actual landing from 1:40.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Thanks for that re-post Fred, looks LOTS better than the 'stand on end' view the edited one was.

But the script rather answers my question of why did they do it. The really DID consider the C-130 for a COD aircraft, despite all the caveats about room on the deck etc.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Fokker's F28, the DC-9 and, IIRC, even Boeing's 737 were considered as COD aircraft...
