well guys I would sugest you enjoy reading the sales lit and looking at the pictures of JSF and A400 in RAF colours as that could well be the only time they appear in RAF or RN colours given the budget statemant and the 23+ years it's going to take to make the country solvent again I would sugest if you haven't got it now or its in production for you now for the services you aren't going to get it.
The Chancellor is being very optimistic with his figures and I would sugest its a huge IF he gets the loans. There are efficiency savings for all departments of Govt this year and it looks like the defence budget will fall in the next few years. Wonder if Tornado & C130K will last another 25 years?
