Wot no AH-64
:o No offence to the cloggies, but they have their aircraft (as you know) under a different scheme than ourselves. Theirs are US Army (FMS) bought; they are instructed to fly in Alabama/Texas and they have a vary different situation.
The frustrations with the UK Apache program are nothing compared to other programs namely EFA, Merlin, Bowman etc. While trying to stay on track and qualify the instructors for the first upcoming UK conversion to type course; last week the Middle Wallop posy supported the Queens Jubilee fly past, a SF demonstration in Hereford and will spend all of next week at Larkhill at Army 2002. Those of you who know what this takes will understand that this is a large bill for a small group trying to keep things on course. The Apache is not only a goal for every spotter to have in his book of tail numbers.
Also, my understanding is that the UK Apache fitted into the Wattisham without having to saw bits off.
The cup is half full, honest.
