Sure if you stick a drone up high enough the place becomes a no-fly-zone anyway... just sayin'.

I see some of the AC were out in the big wet again when the Spanish were in town.

With the cold cold recession the World economy is teetering towards right now I wouldn't read too much into it. Most of the new kit the DF might have gotten will be quietly shelved when the money is needed to pay for other higher priorities.

most likely given it’s been the go to option in every other recession.

Trump will be announcing the end of hostilities in Iran tonight. Mainly because Larry Fink and Peter Thiel and the rest are threatening to cut his nuts off for what he's done to the economy.

given his attempts to game the markets that’s a fair bet, but it takes two to tango and even then the damage isn’t going to undo itself overnight. A recession is certainly coming, made worse if the AI bullshit bubble pops at the same time. All we can do is wait and see how bad the damage is and whether or not the government has learned anything from the damage the Crash decisions inflicted (and we all know the odds are they haven’t).

i see the Times have an article today about the Training contract. As suspected there is no one in house at the moment to deliver it. When a member of the defence forces asks for the P45 do they like everyone else only have to give 4 weeks notice?

It depends on their rank and position. Like the rest of the public sector, and once they have passed the minimum service threshold, the notice period depends on their seniority and perhaps some other factors. But 4 to 8 weeks would be the window.
