wasting money
Well i got told a story today from someone who is in the know.
When the RAF retired the jag fleet they sold the majority of the fleet for
total £17.000 i was told 15 airframes to a company in suffolk ( i think you know who ) then when the RAF need more airframes for cosford the RAF bought 2 jags for £17.000 each so yet again the RAF wasting money.
Then another story same company bought a load of brand new shar canopys still in there transit boxes. Then the indian airforce enquired to the RAF to see if they had any they wanted to sell so the RAF put them onto this company, Well it turns out this company sold them to the IAF for £100.000 each .
This is what i dont understand why dont the RAF ask other nations if they need or want any airframes or spares instead of scrapping them or selling them for next to nothing as companys like the one in suffolk are rubbing there hands together thinking thank you RAF anything else you wanna sell .
To sum up my uncle had the right idea come back maggie thatcher all is forgiven ok she mucked up abit but she would never let the armed forces get in state it is in today.
Right il get off my soap box now .
