Not sure if this has already been discussed, but there is (to me) an interesting article on the MOD Oracle site regarding a new contract with Boeing:-

"Under the Through Life Customer Support (TLCS) contract, Boeing will ensure that MoD has an agreed number of serviceable aircraft available at the Chinook main operating base, RAF Odiham. Boeing will achieve this by taking responsibility for the provision of spares and managing maintenance at Odiham and the depth maintenance hub at DARA Fleetlands, and through the provision of technical publications, technical advice and assistance, and the management of obsolescence."

How will that work when much of the aircraft is not under Boeing design control, I thought that was why shedloads was going to be spent on fix to field?
