You are right "was it the correct choice", it seems that when it comes to British designed and built aircraft there always seem to be the debate should we have brought American aircraft, but should we be buying old US stock!, is it right that we let our own aerospace industry disappear.
I must admit was the replacement of Nimrod the best use of taxpayers money, do we still need this capability or should it be a nato or European capability paid for and operated by Europe.
I do find it hard to believe that we can send the army, navy and air force out to fix other peoples problems with below standard equipment yet spend a lot of money on projects that may have no modern requirements
