RAF Brize Norton spokesman Katie Zasada said “It is probably a 25 per cent increase over what we expected. We did not anticipate the number of engine ground runs.”
You mean nobody told you that 33 aircraft require maintenance?
Oh hang on............
Ms Zasada said less Hercules had been stationed at the base than was expected and so each was having to run more missions – to destinations including Libya and Afghanistan – meaning more maintenance had to be done at night for a quicker turnaround of each plane.
Well there you are then.
“Without the test the aircraft would not be able to go out, and that could have dire consequences.”
So what are you moaning about then.
Dear residents of the surrounding area of RAF Brize Norton. PFO and move somewhere else. Or better still move the Hercules back to RAF Lyneham where the locals appreciated them. You can then leave Brize Norton to the REMF shiney fleet.
