I’ll bet that no one is going to stop and the RFF chaps are going to discover they are just a ‘nice to have’ rather than essential to aviation.
Well, when you look at it, Australia
IS an aviation backwater, just like the rest of the **** that Africa does better than Australia, like internet etc.
Going without ARFF is OK right? Until you need them of course, then there'll be hell to pay. Then there's the heart attacks they've attended over the years, and the money they raise for charities, apart from that they do **** all right?
