Nice reply Mr Ingram. Now we know how many aircraft were 'available', how about you answer the question and say how many were 'operational' and how many were 'unserviceable' ? Or perhaps you hope that Mr Lancaster doesn't know that 'available' doesn't mean 'serviceable'?
Damned management speak. Makes my blood boil when people BS like that. (A consistent theme throughout the reporting highlighted by this thread.)
