A little bit of all CA737, but predominantly Cobham.
The contract was awarded 2 years ago, the first aircraft arrived in country on our around Boxing day last year and nothing is ready.
CASA have only certified the CL604 in experimental category which has restricted them to only a few airports for training purposes of which one isn't Cairns, the Cairns Port Authority wont approve the landing of the Challenger in Cairns whilst in experimental category.
They are severely restricted in what they can drop.
The troops are now starting to get a little frustrated and are starting to speak out.
Its all becoming a farce.
