There is some brutal financial thinking going on somewhere - and I am not advocating it.
Delete the Tonka GR fleet and not only are there savings in equipment and associated pilots and maintenance folk, will this not also remove the Nav branch too, particularly after the last course has just finished (other thread)?
There have been enough comments / threads on here that the incoming Tornado was no match for the Buccaneer, I just hope that there is no similar cock up with the newer and shinier and better Typhoon being less capable in the Strike & CAS roles than the swing-winged beastie.
Is there something else at work going on in the shadows and this is not just a case of balancing the books? Has someone swallowed the sales patter (or the directorship) of "the Fj future is bright, it's unmanned' and is now working the deliver that new vision?
