This M.P. is NOT an idiot. She is an elected representative of her constituents, and is therefore duty bound to act on their behalf if they have a complaint, whether or not she agrees with it!. The thread title should be changed.
Thread title changed to appease you.

No more F35 for UK?

News today hints that the UK may not take up the options for more aircraft after the first 49, opting instead for a cheaper European aircraft namely the Eurofighter !

Re: Mach Loop Under Fire

As usual an MP or AM in Wales wants her party to look like the party of the people. Just wants a bit of time in the limelight before she fades away until her next high horse appears for her to ride on!

You may have already seen it for yourself already. http://www.aviation-links.co.uk/RIAT2003.h...
