Subhead A9, military transport, is of interest to me, bearing in mind a discussion we had not too long ago on the stranded Government jet in America. Is it sustainable for us to be without an operating ministerial aircraft? How are the pilots able to keep their flying hours at required levels, given the limited fleet that we have? Is there a proposal to replace the Government jet with additional aircraft?
