Yes Bertie - an intersting and still sadder perspective on the Wattisham affair. After 30 years in the RAF I can relate many similar tales of how hangar door heights were similarly badly specc'ed - talk about missing the wood for the trees! Despite that wrong Wattisham spec they could have at least built it somewhere more appropriate - Ah Well!
... and as for your proposal for Army staff scrutiny of the SAR-H requirement - what a great idea!! - must keep an eye out for the added requirement line for regular training deployments to somewhere near the Kyber Pass mind you!!
