It is shamefull that we can only supply 8 airframes to Herrick!.
Given the clip the AAC is in I was amazed to discover the output of the AH was so low...
i have it from a reliable source that a squadron in a wet and damp place has more tasklines, utilising a "legacy" aircraft operates more tasklines than the AH fraternity.....
Obviously its a case of horses for courses....but....please.
Are we really becoming that AH centric over a few tasklines in Herrick (Doing a very very valuable job i might add!)....that every single other role of AAvn should become subservient to in all respects??..
There is a bigger picture...Imagine if Afghan had not happened!??
Where would we be?
