Good to see the journo had at least read the info boards when in the back of the museum MR2. Shame he called the item a "sonarbuoy" when the writing on it clearly said "sonobuoy" but 9 out of 10 for effort and showing an interest. Never seen a galley look so clean (and empty...)
Shame the show dived into the CEA debate - small change compared to the big issues (and a diminishing expense no doubt given the reduction in manning and more permanent location postings).
Notice no current MoD minister/secretary/underling willing to give a reply. Just the usual MoD 'statements'.
The saddest thing was the lack of promotion of the program. Compare with the daily adverts for Dispatches shows covering NHS / Welfare issues. I guess that shows the importance of Defence in the eyes of the 'meedja' and therefore the public.
