Hi Zoowarden, welcome to the club. Title was very randomly chosen please dont take it personally.
Yes this kind of cargo will always be flown I have absolutely no problem with that. I also have no problem also with this specific requirement that was flown last week - would have done so myself.
My problem in this very case is that it is, was, and in future is probably again going to awarded/consigned to one of those mentioned who played such an important role in feeding the murder and mayhem frenzy in Africa and in the rest of the world - that which the British Government stood so harshly in judgement about.
If we/some are then going to be absolute hypocrits why not give it to the old man with the converted L1011 bulkloaders to fly - believe me he needs it - even flying for below IL-76 rates these days I hear. But perhaps he cant fly it because the British Government wont allow him into the UK and have slapped a travel ban on him for the last he flew into Liberia. Thats double standards as Johnsons are in the same league, still contracted by Heavylift, just as Cargo Plus and now their new re-invention Air Charter Express is.
If someone in position of authority in relevant contracts department in MOD sees this, Dear Sir - please comment - or is this par for the course in the duplicit world we live in today!
