Specialist support at all levels, training costs of all those support specialists, servicing equipment, spares - the support costs would be astronomical. Some courses (full time), could last for over a year - imagine the cost of that.
That being the case why were they sanctioned in the first place then ? Doesn't make sense if the running costs are to be so prohibitive. :confused:

Back to you C'mon, I believe as the aircraft was authorised under Labour.

Probably part political. The trouble with buying weapons from across the pond, the prats at MoD Purchasing Executive & others decide that some things must be changed - hence Cobras that couldn't communicate with UK ground forces and numerous other systems, but jobs for some areas of UK:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Lord Young says that we have never had it so good , just as Harold Macmillan said the same in 1957 , and the latter was able to say it thanks to the boom in the post-war global economy .

The word "global" seems to have disappeared from the vocabulary of many of our politicians .
All the good is due to them , and all the bad is due to their opponents .
The fact that there is a world outside of themselves is conveniently forgotten .

An interesting idea , but I am confused about the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties . And today Ed Milliband has said that it's the end of New Labour . So is it to be Labour or Old Labour or what ?

Things are bad enough without me making them worse . :)

It's all very well saying "we have never had it so good" on radio and then having a lunch time meeting in a top rate restaurant working out how to tax the public with higher VAT in order to lower the deficiet, when ordinary British people find it hard to get work.. to my mind this is what the tories are all about.

As the French political philosopher Alex de Tocqueville said : " We get the government we deserve ."

Ultimately the electorate is to blame if you want to blame anyone .

New new labour .:confused::confused::confused:

I'm not a fan of John Humphrys , but he was interviewing Ed Milliband last week on The Today programme about Ed's relaunch of Labour .

He took Ed to pieces . Ed's responses to Humphrey's prodding about what his policies amounted to were so vacuous .
Ed couldn't come up with anything concrete , just vague waffling .

If Ed can't do better than that , Labour are going to have to prepare for another 18 years in opposition .
