Retired RAF Tristars - contracted aerial refuellers
Best wishes to them. The RAF hierarchy were unable to see how the TriStar could have provided AAR for another 20 years. Politics, in the form of a MOD budget grab for the A330 contract, blinded our leaders into spending £30,000,000,000 instead of a few £million and sticking the pods on.
Yes, another VSO budget grab scenario, not unlike the Carrier situation.
