Chinooks ready after eight-year delay

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8457067.stm


	Quote: Mr Ainsworth added: "I am delighted that the first of the Mk 3s are now joining the Chinook fleet. "By the end of this year we expect to have all eight of these refitted aircraft in service, increasing our Chinook fleet to 46 aircraft."

Christ, by the end of the year...

And all because some idiot didn't put the right small print in the original contract. What a waste of public money this farce has been.
