Sadly it is obsolescent set of electronics in a airframe with serious safety issues. Bloody wings don't all fit either. Still a lot of ex-staff officers will have had a fair number of jollies and golf games off the back of this as usual.

We could have taken out the electronic gizmos and used the aircraft to fly all the illegals out of the country and if the aircraft were faulty well .... who cares?
Either way we get rid of a lot of unwanted people. whistle:

in a similar vein .........

Newspapers and ministers - led by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles - have lambasted councils for protecting "non-jobs" while front line staff are being laid off.

There has been criticism about posts like "walking co-ordinator", "roller disco coach", "bouncy castle attendant", "cheerleading development officer", "future shape programme manager" and "Nuclear Free Local Authorities policy officer".

bouncy castle attendant ....FFS ...you could not make it up .................
