Nimrod Flying Hours
Sorry JFZ, I think James Kirkup is making a valid point. If you examine all the available data (from 1997) you will find that prior to 2004 "achieved" and "planned" are roughly the same. It is only during the last 3 years that the overflying has taken place. I understand your point about running a car, but if I had a 39 year old car I would not be flogging it to death at the end of it's life.
