Duncan,
That is why I asked the question. I could not understand either.
As for the older Nimrods. If the US can keep the B-52 in service, seemingly forever.
Why couldn't we keep the Nimrods, until a suitable replacement were found?
Refurbishment would have employed people. Stupid politicians only care about expense accounts and posing on TV.
