British military aircraft have been put on standby to evacuate UK citizens and embass
As,reported in todays Telegraph, yet another unexpected call on the soon to reduced Air Transport fleet. This follows the post earthquake Turkey humanitarian flights and the Afghanistan evacuations, and perhaps other last minute calls involving the C-130J.
I don't imagine any of the charter companies being prepared to risk their fleets on this one.
I dearly hope that someone of influence picks up on these posts and has a water cooler chat along the lines of " we can't afford the C-130J with our current funding, but we can't afford to lose it just yet"
Can we have some funding from somewhere please.....?
