Beg to differ there Yoz. Take a look at these figures;
Aussies 2 X J model and @ 120 ground crew
Brits 4 X J model and 16 ground crew!
In theatre a few weeks ago. Barely enough engineers to do the job. Same goes for other aircraft eng dets, the Aussies can't believe it. They get paid tax free and an Iraq bonus. Any clues as to why they are so well staffed?
Overstretch to snapping point or just stretched?
