If only everyone were as pragmatic.
Let's face it, it's a great for the crews having such shabby serviceability on their ac. They could depart on time and return to their loved ones on time, dealing with happy punters (well, on the return leg!) delighted that, once again, the RAF AT fleet has picked them up so promptly in their shiny new aircraft.
But, as is obviously the case, they break them - deliberately - control the spares procurement process, and the budget, and government policy on which ac go where just so they can have a few unplanned days in the desert, again, get home late to an empty house as the missus has knobbed off with the postman, and get it in the neck from 200 pi$$ed off squaddies in the process. If they haven't left them behind, for a bit of a laugh, that is.
Right, bed.
