Its fair enough the Red only use £6.3 Million per year funding but the MRA4 is not being taken into service because there is no money for spares, surely an asset that is needed and the sooner it is the better for all even the AT fleet is more important than recruitment tools. (£6.3 Million could buy some spares)

It would seem shunting off 2500 personnel yet keeping a flying display team is more important. They have cut off all funding now for education support and the small things that made up the **** factor as you wish to call it.

People are growing increasingly angry why we have this luxury when many good squadrons are being chopped to the bone.

Personally I dont give a monkeys but increased pressure sure at the Defense review will see this subject brought again im sure.
