Don't speak too soon....

Serious rumours doing the rounds in the AT world that the MOD has shelved C17 nos 7 and 8.
Serious rumours that that rumour has now been reversed....UK-7, anybody?

Not to mention the reduced Typhoon order announced today....232 down to 120, and it only takes 3 Typhoons-worth to fund a C17. Also leaving plenty of petty cash to cover the rotary and C130 shortfall.

All we need now is the people to fix and fly them all!
