UK aircraft time into full service..
In the front , ‘brief article’ part of ‘Aviation news’ this month , there are 2 blurbs about RAF / UK aircraft capabilities.
The 1st is about the F35b & its delay until 2025 for full operational capability.
The 2nd mentions that the A400m has been undergoing paratroop trials recently.
Why such a length of time?
We’ve had both aircraft for some time now & we’ve got allies flying both , we could use their experience to speed things up.
Before reading , I was unaware such stuff went on- could someone in the know tell me why it takes so long?
Could we please NOT get into the ‘A400’s rubbish , keep the C130 ‘ debate in any replies??
Thanks all.
