We are now starting to see that the PFI was a complete farce and the equipment as bid will not and cannot meet emerging requirements. Now let me think, what is the expression? "Told, I, So, You". And 14 was never going to be enough to meet the AAR requirement, let alone the AAR AND AT requirement!!! But of course "we will always be able to charter AT", wont we?
Back on topic, I think Brize and Kinloss are the only two stations without a gate guardian. What a shame they chopped up the K2s. I always thought that a K2 on the (was it?) long stay car park to the east of the main entrance would have been an appropriate site for a gate guard at Brize. Or better still an "airborne" VC10 on a pole (as per the Offutt B52) over the main gate would have been even better!!
