PINCH OF SALT

Call me a cynic (that's a realist when seen by an idealist) if you will but I'd like to see the figures for our future rotary winged fleet set out on one sheet of paper with a delivery timescale, an explanation of which versions we're talking about and the out of service plot for each type and mark.

Words like 'double counting' won't stop flashing through my mind.

I'd also like to see the bill for the repairs likely to be required for the hard used wokka wokkas we have currently. I have a nasty feeling that some of these early airframes are suddenly going to be found not economic to keep in service.
