Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it! THAT story needs repeating until it is accepted and finally acted upon. Otherwise it won't just be an MPA fleet we are short of but an entire air force!
It wasn't cuts that grounded the Nimrods but unairworthiness. The only cure for that is an independent Regulator and Accident Investigator, both of the MOD and of each other. The lack of which cost UK Military Aviation the ability to ensure its airworthiness, and it goes on costing both in lives and treasure.
