I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

How far in to the future? Apart from the cost of recovery, the book cost of transferring to the MOD account, the cost of holding, the cost or training etc etc, how long before they are as effective as the Snatch Landrovers in the wrong context?

Surely after 12 years or so in Afg HMGs enthusiasm for another adventure will be blunted for long enough.

There are plenty of other ongoing projects that will see more capable kit being introduced in the meanwhile. Apart from someone close to me that wears blue and is involved, what has this to do with Air?
