 The Board of Inquiry report in December 2005 identified the lack of a fire-suppressant system as a contributory factor.In September 2006, the British Channel 4 News aired an article criticising the Ministry of Defence for having fitted only one C-130 Hercules with a foam fire-suppressant system.The RAF had ordered a retrofit of this system to all front-line C130 aircraft, a system which could well have prevented the loss of aircraft "XV179" and its crew.
