I wonder if that means the Chinook buy has been given the green light?
Sorry, what is the connection? I am not aware that SDSR linked the 2 events. SDSR told the RAF to handover the Merlins to the CHF - I presume this is all going ahead and the Junglies are filling the conversion courses at Benson? If this is not the case the RAF need to explain why not.
Or is this all part of the Torpy/Anderson "One Air Force" campaign - grow up.
