More interestingly, buying the whole PFI nonsense contract out should be on the table for the SDSR on the basis that FSTA PFI is cr*p value for money, and that we should buy the bl**dy jets.
Maybe - but then the RAF would still be flying them sixty years later when completely clapped out and inefficient. At least with the PFI plan, at the end of the lease-term, they will replaced by new aircraft.
