LJ, I fail to see the reason for your insulting prose.

If ancient, non-airworthy aircraft are grounded because they fail to meet normal standards of airworthiness, then so be it. People still fail to understand the difference between airworthiness and serviceability - and costs to the defence budget caused by the resut of legal actions would have been unnecessary had corrective action been taken earlier.

"Don't confuse me with inconvenient facts" - the mantra of the hope-it-won't-happen spineless leaders of the recent past.

It seems you have issues about the MoD joining the 21st Century. Fortunately, other nations have far greater respect for the safety of their service personnel....
