Now here are a couple of questionable posts:

effects said - "The RAF would only take a handful of people if our fleet was as technical as a balsa glider!"

That is just plain silly, rotary have always been more technically demanding that fixed wing if only for the number of moving parts - nice wind up though effects!

Notso Helpful Stacker the fact remains that the Army are coping and name for me any new aircraft introduced to service that hasn't had problems? As for the transfer of RAF techies to 'instant' REME sergeants, apart from a very obvious step up in life, why would someone in a black shoes and overalls environment want to go out and live among the muck and bullets?
