Air Pig The disposal process seems to have been 'infected' to the same degree as the original chaos that brought us to having to dispose of the fleet in the first place.
The RAF have been guilty of using the process to keep the cabal system going thereby trying to prove that the fleet needed a complete makeover to fly again, blatantly untrue as is was.
Of course they did not have to convince a panel of impartial or tech observers that this was the best option as it was not part of the process. Interestingly Aerobility did not want ALL the airframes, but seem to have been used as a convenient 'buffer' to extract the machines from the system and let them drift back into the 'business sector'. As alluded this is probably as big a scandal as the original debacle that started it all.
