Reid - foam may have saved lives British Defence Secretary John Reid contradicted his own ministry by saying that 10 servicemen could have been saved if fuel-inerting devices were fitted on RAF C-130s.

Mr Reid said: "This tragedy might have been averted if we had done that."

In the mean time, the RAAF said that its C-130s in Iraq are equipped with the fuel-inerting device.
