Why do Governments always want to scrap Aircraft and Ships they take out of service?
To my mind, it would make much more sense to keep these assets; that the Country has bought and paid for! A long term storage plan would seem to make more sense.
We Never know if we might need some or all of them again at fairly short notice. What does the government have as a Plan B if we suddenly need the capability?
Borrow some aircraft from the Americans or French!
