just think that blackcat1 is right in that:
jags retired WAY too soon

SHARS retired WAY too soon

we could go on, couldn't we, but this has been ongoing for decades, including the TSR2 debacle, F111 farce, etc, etc
it's all 'politique' isn't it

always the grunts on the ground doing the job that suffer (IMHO)

hope i haven't offended anyone

best regards as always
