Re Focus on the real issues
Absolutely pointless talking about what we might buy in to the future - it's academic as we have little enough cash to pay for front line stuff for the moment.
We should never have had the problem in the first place; The tax payers funded two brand new fleets of service registered aircraft ( Grob Viking and Grob Vigilant) circa 1990. Had the RAF been competent, then the 3.5 year pause, closures of VGS units, discharge of loyal staff, and loss of opportunity to Air Cadets and on going reductions in VGS activity for Air Cadets would not have happened.
The Defence Select Committee and all MP's need to be reminded that taxpayers provide the cash and that there is a responsibility and accountability for cases where the tax payer has been dramatically short changed whether that be due to fraud, incompetence or any other reasons.
What is still long overdue, is a competent investigation into the failures within the RAF that led to this appalling situation. No more smoke and mirrors ! - Write to your MP now!! Give them a real job to do -
