Mike, do you seriously think anyone here wants to damage the Nimrod fleet? More importantly, in the light of your post, would the good men and women of a jury think that?
That was a hell of a first post, I hope you stick around and answer a few questions, rather than put the frighteners out and retire to wherever it is you came from.
There is a belief in here that the MoD is playing safety off against the lives of British servicemen. I have been told by very senior officers that they would love to have more safety equipment on board the Nimrod but there simply is no money to do it with.
Over to you.
