Dont Worry lads...we've ordered some more Typhoons instead
In a week when the shortage of helicopters in Afghanistan has been about the one thing that politicians from all sides have agreed upon (standfast our dour Presbyterian leader who cant bear to spend a penny more on defence than the absolute bare minimum) I am delighted to see the procurement of a further 40 Typhoon aircraft. Just what we need. No more lift capacity at the coalface to replace the ageing relics operating at and beyond the limits of their envelopes but instead another 40 airshow jets designed to fight yesterday's war. I am astounded...
