Fantaman,
You have beaten me to it! My blood is still boiling about watching that
spout his rot.
The false economy of penny pinching and corner cutting to save a few bucks in the short term is now a well established practice inside the MOD. As the "Airships" pat themselves on the back by saving money as they remove the next safety measure, it is mugs like us left to fly the under protected aircraft around the cr@pholes of this world providing target practice for anyone with an AK47.
The whole issue is rotten to the core.
