Defence review

Postby Lucas1860 » Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:49 pm

Have any of you seen or heard that the defence review is going to revisited, it comes on the back of the Russians sending more flights over the north due to information that the Tornado are based in Lincoln etc. I have tried to find the article.

Any takers

Jim.

I was at a meeting and overheard the remarks, said that it was in one of the broadsheets.

All I can find is letters and calls from some bigwigs asking for a review.
