i love our claims
"a multi-million pound refit "
the truth = the ramp on flight deck has been given a new coat of paint.
i bet the rest of the money has gone into governments pockets to fund housecoats & moats

£40k a week for fucking hotel bills
Why don't they just stay on the base FFS.

all our money gets wasted, probably cost millions moving all the harriers, then thousands to pay someone to put masking tape on the canopy.
now they take them back, honestly the people in charge are a bunch of dimwits

Liam Fox is a famly friend. My Mum used to work with him when he was a GP and he was our family Doc.
And he shagged Natalie Imbruglia so he is full of win imo.

I'm currently building a new gauging unit for the grinding machine that they use when they refurb the harrier engines...
Paid for by the mod, wouldn't be upgrading it if they're not going to refurb another harrier engine..

Where would they stay exactly? Gioia del Colle is fully populated by Italians, you can't put them in tents on the airfield, no-one would get any sleep, it's hot as fuck there and with flying around the clock it's too noisy to be in a tent. I was there in 2000 and 2001 with Harriers flying over to the Balkans and we stayed in a hotel about 20 miles away in Conversano.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
