Surely you have heard that CAS didn't like being seen getting out of an RN Jetstream at an RAF base so he told his underlings to get shot of the T3s, despite the fact that the Crabs are in desparate need of AT and the T3s are so cheap to run compared to the 146 or the 125. And they can move 16 people all over Europe!
Look at the savings - £5 mil over 10 years to run Heron Flight versus a annual £3million uplift in MODs travel budget by getting rid of the T3s. Now that is the kind of cost saving I like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surely that can't be true. CAS wouldn't dare waste that much tax payers money just because his pride was hurt.

Where is that Journo when you need him. Surely we should start a petition to save Heron flight from the RAF.
