There is an interesting thread developing on PPRUNE regarding the UK government's commitment to ensuring our ac are adequately protected whilst on Ops. The argument follows the shooting down of a Herc last year in Iraq. The full Flight International (http://www.flightglobal.com/Articles/2006/02/28/Navigation/190/205123/UK+to+weigh+up+Hercules+threat.html) article is here, which IMHO, demonstrates government penny pinching at its very best and a complete disregard to the safety of service personnel.
