New Chinooks at Odiham

Spies in the camp suggest that 3 new Chinooks have arrived at Odiham recently - great news but they appear to have come without engines, transmissions, wiring, avionics or anything - in fact just the plastic wrapped airfames!

Surely someone hasn't tried to penny-pinch by assuming the spares already in existence would be sufficient to 'home-build' these aircraft - that would be unfeasibly stupid - wouldn't it???
