HH2 - the stripping back to bare bones is what used to happen in HMF but now DARA are involved they don't have the time or the manpower to do anything like such a thorough job.

Lossie got one today from them that was U/s on arrival with a multitude of snags. It's not the aircraft that is the problem, it's the spares support (or lack of it) and the move towards civilianisation that cause most of the angst.

My belief is that we should immediately about turn and keep military engineers maintaining our aircraft.
