Babcock contract
Sounds about right in terms of the Serious Rumour Squad ! However if only 48 Vikings - what about the rest, and more importantly what about the Vigilants ? And what about airfields, locations and staff - assuming there are a few still hanging on ??
If they treat as a "rush" job, who knows, some activity may resume in 2016, at some airfields, with some staff, tea and medals all round whoopee (Not !)
IMHO the whole business is a disgrace and should be examined by the Defence Select Committee to ascertain who is /was in the hot seat and what sanctions are being applied.
