So the A400M debacle rumbles on and on......

We know we need all 25 of them but we need to know when they will finally arrive and what the capabilities will be

Meanwhile the capability gap in the AT fleet continues to expand as another C130K is scrapped due to wing box cracks, with the possibility that the remaining airfames will go early next year as a cost-saving measure.

That would release the engineering personnel to concentrate on the C130J lines and avoid all the costs of moving a legacy fleet to Brize for 14 months.

Just the sticky problem of disbanding LXX Sqn to get past the Air Force Board!!!
