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?
