Is it just me, or is anybody else concerned about the amount of coverage that the nimrod is currently receiving in the press, concerning fuel leaks and "crew uncertainty" about whether or not the aircraft is safe to fly......
At the end of the day, we're all responsible enough to be able to make a decision whether or not we are happy to fly the aircraft.
This amount of bad publicity is doing nothing for the morale of the dedicated and extremely professional crews who are out in the gulf at the moment working their hardest, as every 'rod crew does....At the moment, all we are doing, is de-moralising our own crews, and giving the impression to our enemies, that the nimrod does not deserve its' reputation as such a capable, versatile, and widely respected platform, as we have spent many years proving....
I understand that people want answers, but until the BOI is out, it seems to me that we are asking questions that the BOI may just answer for us...
As for leaks from the MOD........... Just look at the Madeleine McCann case.... "leaks" in inverted commas make for good sales. i know this does nothing to comfort the families, but people will lie and newspapers will lie, to make money from you guys.... this will never change. its a sad fact of life..
sleep tight guys..
