Sir Malcolm Pledger told the Review, candidly, that he did not believe that he was fully qualified for the job of CDL. He said this was one of the reasons why he attended a two-week course at the IMD Business School in Switzerland.
He was not a logistician or an engineer; he was a career helicopter pilot who had only brief hands-on logistics experience and no business experience.
If the RAF/MOD was a commercial business he would never have been considered for the job.
