Mr Smith.
I've held my tongue long enough over this, and I think my learned colleague tOrnadO was very restrained in suggesting that you check your facts.
I've never heard such utter s**T dressed up as informed opinion. Where the f
k do you get your "facts" from eh?
50%, really. The GR4 services 50% of the ATO and GCAS tasks? Are you sure. Was this so when you were there? Were you there?
Two jets lost on the runway cos they couldn't get airborne cos they're unfit? Got that from the BOI findings did you? Or the same pit of inadequacy that you took your serviceability claims.
And as for costing lives, I won't even dignify that.
I realise this is a rumour forum, but there's a difference between rumour and lies. That's right, lies. Bottom line.
