And another ....

From Minister Clare's office earlier today:

Minister for Defence Materiel – Sixth C-17A Globemaster III – Letter of Request

And still no word on AIR 8000 Ph 2. A sixth C-17A will utterly rule out any more J model Hercs as well. I had a sortie cancelled this week due to a lack of airframes. I'm sure ALG and Ronnie are thrilled to be getting another hulking big Globemaster III, but we need more airworthy Hercs and we need Spartans.
