This is not exactly Chinook stuff, but it may give a clue as to the mindset of the MoD. Taken from an article in the Daily Mail - 5 Aug 02.

"When asked if French burgers were being fed to Army, RAF and Navy personnel a spokesman said: "Categorically no".

She added that the Department would be 'annoyed' if the Daily Mail suggested such a thing.

However, when precise details of the operation in France were put to the MoD it was forced to confirm that they were accurate.

The spokesman admitted she had known these details when the first enquiry was made but chose not to volunteer them.

The MoD said: "This was a commercial decision by the contractor."
Article end.

So the MoD tell porkies do they?? They really do believe they are answerable to no-one!

It also proves that all we do with regard the campaign will make a difference. Sooner or later the MoD will have to admit that they broke their own rules and there is no evidence to support their shameful verdict.

We too can force them to confirm what we all know!

Keep up the good work folks.
Regards, as always
