Does anyone know exactly how much money the government will save for taking the MR2 out of service a year early. or is it case that Nimrod is a bad word to politicians and they want to see the back of it no matter what it brings to the party? Seems to me it is being grounded through the back door by obstacles continuously being put in its way by those scared of any litigation should something, however unlikely now, go wrong.

Sometimes you don't realise what your going to miss until its gone and the stop gap measures are not what you have been briefed they are. I hope Mr Ainsworth knows what he is doing, but somehow I doubt it.
