CAS didn't seem to have a grip of anything being discussed. When asked how many Typhoons we had he said 137. He was then pressed on how many are available and of course no answer.
He received questions on why the RAF decided to only order 3 Wedgetails instead of 5. The answer was cost saving which turns out to be £200m. I believe £1.9 billion for 3 and £2.1 billion for 5. Crazy. He was then asked when the fleet would be operational, it took 5 attempts before a vague answer came out.
I won't go on - but absolutely depressing, especially the red face, blinking of eyes and stuttering when he didn't like the questions. Ellwood and Francois knew it too.
