I spent many happy days with the Hercs when I was a mere APO (no one could believe there was such a lowly rank!) as the HTES ops officer way back in '76 and it pains me to see how badly things have gone and the inept management of such an apparently simple to solve problem as foam in fuel tanks.
Isn't this all underpinned by the sort of issues discussed in the thread 'What is the true position on defence finances' (~p9) in which you and I aired our grave concerns for defence finances?
Absolute disgrace.
