I was briefed by a senior officer from Kinloss yesterday who rang me up and told me there were problems with corrosion and hydraulic pipes chafing and also informed me there would be an article in a Sunday paper. I asked the senior officer if corrosion could be a serious problem "Yes" he said "It can be"
I understand that a spokesman at the MOD said they had found untoward issues during stipdown.
I will be asking for a copy of the 1st Qinetiq report on the teardown of Nimrod MR2 XV236 via the FOI so I can read it for myself and let you know exactly what it said.
