Concerns over RAF jet maintenance

BBC News reports some whingeing and moaning from Welsh MPs and trade unionists after the responsibility for in-depth maintenance was taken away from Scrapheap Challenge at St Athan and returned to the military:

Hmm. Presumably '...the high standards set by the skilled workers at DARA St. Athan' referred to in Hansard on 7 Jul 05 are slightly better than those of the civilian workers which caused millions of pounds worth of damage and grounded many otherwise serviceable Tornado F3s in 1992-93?
