With respect, it is a load of ****
tamworth as a defence base? Seriously?
As as for Dick smith being dumbfounded? That really doesn’t take much. All that crap about the franking credits. What a load of self aggrandizing nonsense.
Its not like the virgin academy, if anything actually comes of it, is going to be parked across the taxiway from Area 51.
dick says he thought virgin was australian owned. I don’t know if it was poorly worded but seriously even my aged mother-in-law knows that virgin is not australian owned with Singapore, hainan, nanshan, Etihad and virgin group as significant owners.
sensationalist reporting and nonsense like this does nothing except spread fear and hysteria amongst those that know little to nothing of the realities of the global aviation.
I truly despair at times.
