The real inquiry should be into the decision of procuring the MRA4 in the first place and the ridiculous bill that we agreed to pay - corruption at the very top with politicians, civil sevants in procurement and very senior officers that ended up working for the company.
The same corruption that led us to buy the Hawk 128 AJT when the AeroMacci was the better jet and the Typhoon and Tornado F3. And we wonder why the Forces have shrunk in size - all to pay for 'jobs' in Brough, Warton and Woodford and line the pockets of shareholders whilst the poor old British military footed the bill for late/over-priced/under-performing equipment.
That's where the inquiry should be...
