Stopstart, was it worth re-sparing the C130? To right it was.
I would prefer to have seen a proper life extension and fleet enhancement for the TriStar (with the wing pods fitted that were left off 25 years ago), then we could have afforded to keep Harrier and Nimrod and not be blowing £13Billion.
Wonder why the Americans run older* platforms where mega agility and stealth are not required?
*Older than TriStar or VC10.
