You might think a keen, enquiring mind (political or journalistic) would be asking questions about the ability of the Nimrod force to fulfil the array of military tasks (including SAR - not including pie and tea consumption) to which it is committed, despite:
a) Regular 'groundings'
b) the serviceability rate
c) the apparent haemorrhage of experienced air and ground crews
