Something doesn't ring right here.
6000 radios gone missing. There's 200,000 blokes in the mob, so approximately 3 per 100. If ONE radio went missing during my time, there would be an enquiry, as they were "starred items".
Are these decommissioned Clansman radios, or new ones? Maybe Ptarmigan Triffid sets. Radios in aircraft that have been decommissioned?
I can't believe the MOD has seriously lost 6000 radios.
