Wild guess:

They'll try to swap them for a batch of the U.S.A.'s modern ones that don't work in combat and that have a brick where the radar is supposed to be. (-:

On This Day 8th February 1993.

467, Lockheed C-130H Hercules, Royal Saudi Air Force, parked on the cargo ramp at Manchester Airport, 8th February 1993, on one of my rare visits over to that side of the airport, which was pretty much inaccessible without a car.
Saudi Herc's were a regular sight back then, it wasn't unknown to have 3 or 4 on the ground at once, picking up supplies from one of the British Aerospace factories in the area.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked facing to the right.
The plane is covered in a 3-tone sandy brown camouflage scheme, with low-visibility markings in all the usual places in the fuselage, only a green pennant with white text in an Arabic script on the tail providing any contrast.
A black chain-link fence topped with barbed wire stretches across the foreground, with a wide strip of grass behind it leading up to the apron area.
A large terminal building fills most of the background, with a tall, glass-topped control tower in the background.
The tails of several jet airliners can be seen in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Front-side view of a single engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the right. The plane is in a metallic grey livery, with a series of short, silver stripes running along the body, with yellow and red ribbons intertwined with and spinning through them. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the lower rear fuselage. The cockpit door on the other side is open, hinged forwards and upwards. The foreground is filled with short green brass, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance. Several planes are visible in the background, mostly a bright yellow plane on the right, with various wings and tails coming in to view. Several people wearing yellow hi-viz vests are scattered around the airfield, acting as marshallers for all the visitors.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely purple, with an orange and purple band around the rear fuselage, and a white tail-cone and tail. There are white., billboard-style "FlyBe" titles above 6 white dots on the side of the forward fuselage, with similar diagonal titles in light and dark blue on the tail, over 2 orange, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. The white titles are also inverted on the underside of the fuselage. The engine pods mounted out on the wings are also purple, with the main undercarriage hanging down on long, spindly legs from the rear. The black registration "G-JECZ" is on the side of the tail-cone right at the rear. Flat grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Almost head on view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing slightly to the right of the camera.
The plane has a black radome in the nose, under a heavily glaze cockpit, with a grey and olive green camouflage pattern covering the rest of the plane.
The large black number "210" can be seen on either side of the nose, below the lowest of the cockpit windows, and a large blue and red roundel can be made out on the right rear fuselage.
On the far side of the plane, a a door can be seen hanging down from just aft of the cockpit, with stairs formed in the inside.
The 4 bladed propellors on the engines are all aligned nicely, in the 4 cardinal positions, with red and white bands on the tips.
An orange power cable snakes across the black tarmac the plane is parked on from the left, rising up to plug into an open panel in the nose.
In the background, crowds of people can be seen behind temporary metal fences,,,, with various stalls and tents behind them, including one festooned with large brown teddy bears.
Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
