Still don't see the connection with the APA

JSAT is run by 22GP RAF and there are centres at Weston, Netheravon and Cyprus. There used to be one in Germany but that has recently been closed.

When the new JSAT contract came up for renewal at the Netheravon centre, there were a few applications to supply an aircraft, pilot etc etc.
The APA have been supplying this for many years but this year it was awarded to someone else.
The APA are contesting the award to the same company that supply an aircraft to Weston. According to reports the APA is pursuing the RAF Officer in charge of JSAT at 22GP. This is the same Officer that was meant to start a new RAF parachute club after refusing to allow Skydive Weston to continue there but never has.

Top Bunk Tester has posted a shot of the Skyvan with a collapsed nose gear from a landing incident last Friday with PJIs on board but no one else. No one was hurt. The airframes are starting to show their age!! This is the same airframe that also had a landing incident at Weston back in 2008 when the pilot made a very hard landing and had to divert to Oxford to perform a landing without the right undercarriage!
