In case my post is interpreted as attacking the companies or staff this is not so. It is the European Politicians who come along and do the later banning of spares support, often much to the disgust of the company staff (I don't thing too many Brits in the company or RAF were impressed by the ban on supply of 1000lb bombs!).
Unfortunately I doubt there are any current ADF or Defence Dept staff who were around during the Vietnam War so they are presumably totally unaware of the disgusting European bans on supply of parts and ammo during Vietnam, but I sure as hell remember.
