"As for lack of SQEP, I'd like to think the REME have that covered"
In terms of SQEP-ness I'm sure they do, but maybe an issue of not enough people (who are SQEP) hence the need to contract-out.

I thought that the RAF have always provided Safety Equipment sections for the AAC?
Traditionally they have, but with the move to VL I'm not so sure if it's still going on, which will be a shame. Working as part of a REME workshop was a great experience and gave a good 'insiders' perspective of how the Army view and use aviation.

Squipper stuff now done by the Snr service! Ref maintenance of cabs yes there are contractors but that is the stop gap until the REME get enough through wastelands conversion courses. Remember it's a brand new aircraft so they say! It's all about single type & base operations regardless of the service. The Government seem to think it will save money. Yeovilton is and always be HMS whatever it's called and the Army has never challenged that. There is a loyal bond with the FAA & AAC but like all relationships there will always be teething problems when you move in together initially, just ask my Mrs.
