How so, if no AAR sorties have been carried out since Nov?
Well Brize Norton have not been able to produce a serviceable VC10 since then !!!
Good question though and I guess like everything now the MOD is fearfull of another incident.Anything Nimrod related now gets splashed across the press. Flying is and always will be a dangerous thing and no matter how much you wrap an aircraft in bubble wrap incidents/accidents will always happen. For all we know the AAR has stopped on Nimrod because of Operational requirement and the need. there are many new platforms in the theatre now that do the job , changes in planning , are you 100% sure they stopped AAR just cause of XV235? Provide that evidence and I will 100% believe you.
