Not just these redundancies though...saving the jobs at Warton has seen the RAF reduce from 98,500 in the late 80s to today's paultry 30-odd thousand. As the R&D was paid for and over priced equipment was bought from our Defence Budget the manpower had to reduce to "balance the books".
Time for t'Baron Waste O'Space to finish off the asset stripping of the once great British aircraft manufacturers and the raping of HMForces' critical manpower and in my best Lancashire accent "boooger orfff"...
