Nimrod and Panorama

Lasts nights programme a lot of truth in what was said. Don't think BOI will differ much

£2 Billion over budget + intended outlay, would have paid for some gucci boeings fitted as required but no government would be applauded by the public for that.

ROV's US public more willing to allow big budgets to their military, always have and always will.

Fuel leaks - exist on all aircraft modern or RAF (physical properties of materials)

Some embellishment/journalistic licence but what do you expect she's trying to get noticed.

Shouldn't have happened, but with all the fleets the downturn in manning and lack of spares married with the desired tasking sadly something gave.

Nothings changing is the saddest thing of all
