SW, I am just trying to make sense of this whole thing. No 1 equipment shortage in UK Armed Forces right now is helicopters. We are at war, these Chinooks were flown regularly, why not use them? I suspect that they are not in a position to be flown at the moment but what sense is there in leaving them to rust? As far as I understand they were delivered to spec, so why can't they be signed off? If simply airing this absurd situation acts as a catalyst to finally sorting this procurement out, then, that in itself is a good thing.
