When walking the dog.
I was overflown by a flight of 5 Apache attack helicopters today.
Magnificent sight and noise.
Couple of minutes later a flight of 4 Typhoons.
No so impressed but there we go.
The airfix kits look better than the real thing.

Then, just as we got back to the car, a single WW2 Hurricane growled over.
Stuff technology, take a wild guess what impressed me the most.

Then I got thinking.

5 Apaches at 35 million per, 175 million. (Wiki Price)
4 Typhoons at 68 million per, 272 million. (Known price)

Total, 447 million for what I saw today and that doesn't even scratch the surface.

We spend out all that money on 9 aircraft but give our troops the heave ho.

No wonder the country is screwed.
