Is it correct that the 'Future' RW policy was written by a CH47 'mate' and endorsed by a CH47 'mate'?
What are the implications of the RAF flying just one RW type in the long-term?
How long will the RN take to convert to MK3/a?
Where will the RN get the extra crews (Pilots/Cmn/Engineers)required to operate the MK3/a? (I know some AEops and Nimrod Engs looking for a job
)
With the various restructuring and resource savings going on, possibly now would be the time to consolidate all RW assets under a 'Light-Blue' banner and let Air do what it is supposed to do.
