BBC Panorama - RAF Nimrod (Part 2 of 3)

Following a crash of an RAF Nimrod MR2 in September of last year, BBC's Panorama programme examines whether the crash, which happened in a plane that entered service back in 1969, was caused due to systemic failures affecting all the fleet at RAF Kinloss, as well as lack of funds which would see the fleet replaced by Predator UAV's in the interim before the MR2's are updated (expected 2011).

First broadcast 4 June 2007.

Why cant people watch a video without bloody arguing like school children about who's bigger or better. FUCK SAKE!

Can somebody explain what GOP Colorado Senator Wayne Allard was doing on BBC television putting the boot in to Nimrod MRA4, when in the US he is known as, " the Invisible Man ", ? The MRA4 has been cancelled, no doubt in part due to the efforts of Mr Allard and it is inevitable that US military and US civilian lives will be more at risk now, than they would have been had the MRA4 been placed in to service. What if London gets nuked because the RAF doesn't have the MRA4, what will Allard say ?
