True about bags of new equipment, but I think much of it may be Military off the Shelf or simple top up buys or long awaited modifications. These simple successes can't be allowed to obscure the Nimrod and Chinook disasters that have brought MoD to its knees financially, or that many are trying to rewrite history ("Nimrod was savings measure" etc.) When you try to rewrite history, time to reacquaint with the facts, which I think is another way of saying what Chug did!
