Nimrod R1 and CAS statement.

[Ginger Beer]

Dear All,

Can any of you good people in the know, confirm or deny CAS's statement from last Monday, that the Nimrod R1 OSD is now 2015?

It is utter tosh - 31 March 2011.

Yes its 2015

According to the answer he gives in his interview printed in the 15th February issue of Defence News yes it's "2015".

You have used the statement made by CAS to confirm itself!!!

Yes, there is no doubt that he said it. The question asked by Ginger Beer was not "....did CAS say it?...", but rather "....did CAS get it right?....".

lonsdale2 seems to imply that CAS has not been "adequately briefed" - if so, I wonder if anyone has told him yet?

Thanks.

I'll take it as a gaff then?

How many "capability gaps" can we afford to have before the tax payer realises the rest of the World can do it all without us and we lose our place at the table?
