A & C
Yeh, I can beleive that and wouldn't doubt it for a minute.
Mr Peacock, I liked your comment 'suggest that someone in the RAF/MOD has made a BIG mistake in letting them go!!!' Nothing new there then??
Seen it all before - remember the VC-10 cargo door (I think) MOD fool said 'Oh we won't need any of them, sell them for scrap' and we did, for pennies. And then a rag head drives his mule-powered cart into guess what? yep, a VC-10 cargo door! Cost of buying back from scrap man? £££millions.
BEagle will have all the full facts, but thats the gist of it.
Yes, I can see another monumental MOD foul up coming to the fore!!
Kind regards
