Are they possibly desperate for our Harriers just as we are\were desperate for their Chinook. 14 Chinook plus possibly some spares for £1bn and we sell the Harrier jets plus spare parts for just pennies.
It's clear that you don't know much about the UK Chinook programme. The UK version (Mk6) is very, very, very different to the US Army CH-47F. Furthermore, the UK is buying the aircraft from Boeing not the US Government, the spares will be included within the UK TLCS contract - but I'm sure that this will cost yet more money. I do hope Evalu8ter doesn't read your post, because he would really enjoy 'educating you' about the UK Chinook programme.
