B71: all points taken however we now have to live with the decisions taken. The issue is to work out what to do next. You will never reverse the current decisions good or bad.
I agree that we could do much better with less ie. C-130H rebuilds etc. I spoke to the CO of Sea King squadron recently and he would be very happy to see them upgraded; mainly a an avionics fit and they could soldier on for another ten years or so. The people in charge are obsessed with fewer types is better no mater what the cost it seems.
