the more immediate threat to our lives is not the Taliban, but the appalling state of the RAF’s fleet of 30-year-old Tristar transport planes.

When we turn up the following day at 10am we are told the flight is full because it has to take on the previous day’s stranded passengers, and journalists are “not a priority”. A few calls to the Ministry of Defence soon set the record straight.

Hey come on Smart chap don`t knock the poor old 10. 
Like some of the rest of us they are getting grumpy in their old age. 
Spent many years flogging around in them and rarely did they let us down.
We need some new kit and fast!!
