CAS is due at Lyneham for a visit. Not sure if he is taking questions, but if I was still putting my a$$ on the line in a Herc I would like to know why he saw fit to give a blanket assurance to HCDC that every aircraft being sent to Afghanistan has appropriate defences for the perceived threat.
Specifically, when not a single Herc has foam fitted 16 months after the tragedy. The original plan was to fit 5 airframes only. The J DAS programme was cancelled 2 years ago. No passenger is protected by kevlar matting. Not a record to be proud about.
Let's hope he has better news for his visit.
