Don't quite see where you're coming from there? What I was eluding to is that had the FSTA contract been awarded to the rival consortium, yet another RAF tanker/transport fleet would be based around a fleet of well used ex-civilian airframes - in this case ex-BA 767s, as opposed to the brand new A330s being delivered.jab wrote: So if you had 767 civilians could of flown on them
How about this for a scam - we all "enlist" for the day, then pay to leave the RAF after we've had our jolly on the VC10? I'm sure the lawyers and insurers would have a screaming fit but if we're enlisted, we're not civvies!Tonks wrote: Sorry Ant1981... we cannot fly civilians on the ac any more!
