Excellent news about the new MPA. Essential capability to be restored.
For a moment I thought it might stop everyone going on about it, but, NO. Now it's all about how it wasn't selected properly, what colour (excellent spoof thread, by the way!) and which Squadron number plate it will wear. As for squadron seniority "rules", the number plate chosen will more likely reflect CAS's choice. Who's rules are they? Who's going to tell him he can't have the one he wants? The only reason the same old favourites keep getting recycled is because VSOs once served on them.
