AAC AH funding....Just where did the £4.7bn go?
Does anyone see what I see?..............thought Not, I'll get me coat!
It beggars belief that a £4.7bn contract (the biggest since the advent of the Tank) has already ran into significant financial and logistical problems; and especially after only 5 years of delivery. Well done.....very well done indeed.
.........another Military first though.
The recent 'brain storm' to create an AH super store (like Tescos but not as popular) in order to conserve assets (manpower) and reduce logistical costs (component transfer times) sounds like the engineering tail is waging the dog again? i.e. cant cope, too many jobs and not enough bods, waiting for spares etc etc. If asset are a problem in the maintenance of only 6-8 operationally deployed Ac then the AAC has problems in the tall category, bring on the Royal Blue budgeters.
All AH chums have performed exceptionally (well done) and I'm sure they will continue to do so, but hey, a bit of reality please; for just how long with respect to sustainability? .............and what price is the AAC paying for this early (but unquestionably required) commitment to a long, bloody and logistically exhaustive operation????
Come on Tony and Gordon where is the money to pay for your promises...our boys are filling their part of the bargain!
**Come on Journo's ask Tony the question**
Oh and another thing..................Im sure non of these pressure and changes will have the slightest impact on Moral, Retention or Family stability....but I've been wrong before.
