Two thoughts strike me

- is this the same Telegraph scaremonger that is single handedly becoming
responsible for destroying any morale left in the forces

- whats new with robbing aircraft..............

Robs aren't uncommon, granted, but robbing parts off a brand new
aircraft, or a fleet of aircraft in this case, just to keep a few cabs
in the air is not good. the supply chain issues with the Merlin mean
that all non-operational flying has all but stopped just to keep a few
aircraft airworthy.
