My point is there have been many threads started about MRA4s cancellation all of which descend quickly into a blame game between BAe, MOD and RAF. I spent 15 years at Kinloss and St Mawgan flying the Nimrod and was sad to see the end of all of the skills built up over many years. I left the RAF over 10 years ago and kept an eye and an ear on what was happening, it came as no surprise to hear the program was cancelled. However, there have been many other programs and roles across all 3 services cancelled yet you do not see on PPRuNe the pointless whinging seen from those involved. Why do those involved with the Nimrod think they have been so hard done by in comparison? What do you think you sound like to those from the RAF and other services who have suffered similar cuts and after venting their disappointments and frustrations start looking ahead? As I have said before get over it, stop your bleating and start planning a future not on an MPA.
