Gotta love those blunties...
And you think a blunty gets anywhere near the process do you? I seem to remember when the J model was being brought in a friend of mine was invited to a meeting to discuss the finalities.
With all the money spent, and the meeting seemingly centred on where the sqn crest should go, he asked whether there were any plans to change the side guidance to a system that accommodated RAF pallets, and if not, how many US pallets were being provisioned?
There was silence, before the discussion returned to sqn crests.
