Puma Crash

I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Shouldn't that say "Another Puma crash"? ;-)

The cynical amongst us might think it curious that this happened so soon after the announcement of an expensive upgrade package for the Puma fleet. More cost cutting?

Which is under threat, along with everything else.

You ain't seen nothing yet! PR12 hasn't even been announced. The RAF have just discovered that they're 93 loadmasters over strength.

In 20 years time I'd be surprised if the UK isn't down to a 'modern' equivalent of the Home Guard. Look out Dad's Army, here we come. :evil:
