MPA Seedcorn
I hear that 30 plus ex-Nimrod folk are off to various overseas climes to retain an MPA seedcorn capability. While pleased for the individuals, it doesn't strike me as a sensible use of taxpayers' money. Do any of us really think that they will come back in 3 years' time to a UK MPA aircraft? And where will we find suitable people to replace these guys overseas in 2015?
