Utter Muppet,

Personal experience shows me that the system for getting people and kit from A to B works well most of the time despite the enormous challenges often faced with the equipment we have and the places we go to. No civilian loggie organisation has the same scale of challenges placed upon it.
I bet the transport manager for Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda, B&Q, Safeway, Morrisons, Comet........etc etc disagree.
I must admit though the loggie organization managed to airfreight us a whole lorry load of Tornado spares to a remote US base in just 36 hours. Shame we fly a 4 engine heavy!!! Got some very hacked off Tonka guys calling from Goose try to get some broken jets home. We spent the whole exercise flying at 50% capability cause the spares we needed were "stuck in the system".
The civilian loggies don't have the same scale of challenges cause they sorted them out 50 years ago!!!
