As WEBF pointed out in an email earlier to me, although i already knew of the project but the MoD are acquiring hundreds of brand new MAN utility trucks to replace the old Bedford 4tonners and upwards.
This project is costing well over £1bn and is ongoing now with quite a few already delivered.
Do we need those MAN trucks right away, the last i saw most of the Bedfords were still going strong, albeit a few in tatters i admit.
That £1bn+ could have been spent on extra helicopters. Instead we take out a Puma from a museum......
