I can only describe whomever signed that one off as, to quote a delightful phrase I heard recently, ‘a complete cockwomble’ and should be held accountable.

Probably need look no further than post #36 :hmm:

Where did the money go? Well, up to £4.2 billion on the Annington Homes business for one thing.

An example (from The Grauniad):

On at least one occasion, the MoD has even had to buy land straight back from Annington for more housing. From 2001, the MoD had handed over various parcels of land at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

Annington secured planning consent to redevelop the land for private housing, before the MoD decided that it wanted to buy some of it back.

In 2014, the MoD paid Annington more than £28m to buy back a site at Brize Norton that included 194 houses. This means the MoD has paid about £145,000 per house for properties sold off for an average of £28,000 in the original 1996 deal.

Ask 8 sqn - some people in that organisation think that they should have picked up the MPA role...
