The Army may well have got to "choose their own toy", but it was the DPA* (*or insert current procurement acronym here) that cut the training element out and sent it on the hugely successful PFI track (hugely successsful for the shareholders that is); then allowed the Somerset based defence industry to dictate the support policy for the first 5 years, hence the two and eight over critical spares right now. Oh wait a minute - those would all be Government led decisions...
