The public treasure wasted at St Athan under the previous government is on a truly Biblical scale, and is nothing less than a scandal.
The rapid rise (& equally rapid demise) of DARA, the zillions spent on the now-empty 'Project Red Dragon' hangar, the Welsh Development Agency funding to lure ATC Lasham to St Athan in order to use the VC10 'Twin Peaks' hangar for what was only always going to be a temporary move while their own hangar was refurbished, the millions spent on preparatory work for the now-defunct Defence Training Academy..........
On a brighter note, my spies tell me that Brit Airways are planning to use the Red Dragon hangar for B737/baby Airbus maintenance, which they plan to relocate from Glasgow.
