MACHINES

With the Vigilant now out of the equation, and SS sending finished machines to Syerston why are these aircraft not winging their way to the potential users. SERCO are still being paid to provide a service, but aircraft do not seem to be forthcoming from their part of the process. In fact there does not appear to be a future 'service plan' for these machines or the personnel to look after them. Grob did not want to get involved in the Vig debacle hence the 'pull', so who is going to accept responsibility for the 'repaired' (not re-lifed) Vikings, and how much life is there in them. Remember the only Viking SERCO 'recovered' is overweight and (oversize) so hardly a model of excellence.
