@FennellJW 80 million sounds flashy, how many qualified students should it produce and in what timeframe do we expect them to enter the workforce?

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@HMSDuncan @RFATidespring @HMSPWLS @RoyalNavy Crossbar challenge with the 4-5?

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@JohnHealey_MP @NATO @SecGenNATO With what previously thin resources we have. Get the defence investment plan over the line for real deterrence rather than it becoming the defence inaction plan!

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@Keir_Starmer @JohnHealey_MP And yet it’s reported that the defence investment plan is yet again delayed. You hold the power, get it done!

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@twittawoopoog @ModernNavy @FennellJW @RoyAnavy You’ll notice they’re marked winch only

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@RAeSTimR Missed opportunity if they’ve not already been working up some contingency planning for this scenario given it’s been pencilled on the wall for some time the RIAT outcome.

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@haynesdeborah @RAeSTimR @SkyNews If we’re really thinking outside the box it could also couple as a light attack support aircraft, fit with APKWS for ground / air effects (think drone point defence/ interceptor). If the AN2 is capable, this is very capable

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@haynesdeborah @RAeSTimR @SkyNews Time to do the job properly; invest in the company making replica spitfires for 3/4 a mil a pop, paint them red and have a full and historic display team using British aircraft for soft power and historical purposes done properly. Aids BBMF, overall cost and emissions.

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@LukePollard @JohnHealey_MP This is 100% better without the mud slinging. Reality is that weapons are being used and what’s important is that the right decisions are now taken. Too much time wasted slogging back and forth rather than focusing forwards. From a voters view mud slinging is looking childish

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@AircrewDebrief @MichaelNBooks Thoroughly enjoyed part 1. Tuesday seems a long time away 🤣

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@xAviation And this is why you don’t go flying in sandals 😳 that said, good aviating 🫡

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@FennellJW You could add C-130 to that list and the Afghanistan evacuation. Given the air mobility fleets availability and utilisation you can easy argue they more A400s to replace the lost capacity through straight cuts rather than “gapping”

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@PrincepsPacis7 Where can I find it?

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@prestoncouncil @BIDPreston We get talk and consultation whilst Southport is due to break ground on a 73m events centre. It’s about time Preston rivals Leeds and Liverpool. We squandered development of the docks, don’t let this opportunity drift by too

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@FennellJW I also guess Crowsnest was sent in the absence of E-3 / Wedgetail being available for ops. Even if wedgetail had a full operational fleet we’d be stretched to send one and cover training/maintenance /UK Needs. Time to up the buy to 5.

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@thinkdefence I don’t see much ground clearance for bumpy terrain. Highway runner only I guess

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@JohnHealey_MP @FennellJW Publish the defence investment plan…

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@Keir_Starmer @FennellJW Release the defence investment plan….

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@Rotorfocus Has 3 runways so you’d think some form of redundancy would exist

[Jason Taylor @JTaylor1122]

@Rotorfocus @ValkStrategy @AirbusHeli @NSPA_NATO @AviationWeek Also helps that the racer version is likely to be high end operators mixing daily with it rather than entry level troops. Tail rotor increases redundancy in the event that the side props become inoperative
