The position of the "anti's" has become pretty unreasonable; either they have grounds to believe there is a safety fault with this aircraft or they don't. If they do, how can they in all conscience leave their quite specific and repeated assertions hanging in the air? If this is the case (note use of conditional), I fully agree with them that it shouldn't be flying!

On the other hand, if a toxic trickle of innuendo is allowed to create a general belief that there is a serious problem with the type, then there IS a serious problem. As has been stated, our forces are relying heavily on Voyager for the Afgan drawdown. A needless grounding would throw this into disarray and cause serious damage to our wider defence capability. Some people here need to have a serious think about what they are saying.
