Reading through all these threads it appears that most seem to be thinking along the same lines. I must admit I was not surprised about what occurred yesterday and what surprised me was Kinloss staying open, however, the writing does appear to be on the wall good and proper. Only time will tell at just how much the lack of LRMPA will affect the various agencies and it'll probably take something major to kick off/occurr to save the MRA4 from the chop.

Getting our SH fleet 22 new chinooks is fantastic but surely the fact that we won't get the benefit of these until 2013(10 of them) underlines just how short-sighted and ridiculous this decision appears?

Something tells me that something major does loom over the horizon and with our current state I dread that day. History all over again.
