Dear M Williams

I refer to your email of 18 February for information around the retirement of the C-130H Hercules. The Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) requires that a decision on your request be provided no later than 20 working days after the day your request was received. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and this email is to notify you of an extension of the time to make a decision, to 15 April 2025.

This extension is necessary because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

You retain the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to ask an Ombudsman to review the decision to extend your request.

Regards
