Well said DeepGE, I totally 100% agree, People who have no idea how to operate the Nimrod are the ones that are informing the press how things are done yet nobody from the users of this aircraft can defend the aircraft, it would be nice of a few of the senior non commisioned engineers had the chance to answer some of the questions that people are concerened about rather than speculative conjuncture that appears on the net from so called ex groundcrew,serving senior officers etc etc. For many that are going to the press especially as of late saying this and that , its just pissing off the people who have to maintain Nimrod but most importantly the Guys Who Fly. They are the ones that need our 100% confidence and only crap posted in the Times about shoddy maintenance is not going to help one bit.
