In order to keep the Austrian Air Force's three C-130Ks in service for longer, a fourth Hercules was purchased from the Royal Air Force in 2015 to be used for spare parts. The aircraft, with the serial number 382-4261, was built in 1967 and entered service with the RAF on 8 March 1968 as XV295. After 45 years of service, the Hercules was taken out of active service on 29 October 2013 and stored at Saint Athan. On 10 December 2015, it was flown to Linz-Hörsching. The next day, the tail was removed and the aircraft was pushed into the hangar. Since then, it has been dismantled piece by piece.
