Amazingly one day of Oil Production from the North Sea could fund a fleet of Nimrod type aircraft for a few years. Not bad investment really to cover your own arse just in case, and while there take a small fee from the Fisheries protection to do tasking to keep current, Hell with Terrorism and Submarines let the UK Gov sort that out as they appear to have a plan and let the French sort it out for us. We have had no ASW aircraft at Kinloss for over 2 months now so this crap on the US and French helping out is complete arse biscuits.
