Hi Al
It's a slow Friday in the office :-) so a little speculation to help pass the time.
Assuming the white Paper is published in July...
And assuming that it is favorable to increasing our capabilities and budget (As Covney has suggested)
What are the chances of shiny new vehicles being purchased in time to drive them down Dublin's O'Connell street for next years parade?
Personally I can't see it happening. There just inst time. A tender would have to be agreed upon, then published, then awarded, then contracts signed, then aforementioned new stuff gets produced and arrives. Very tight to have this done for Easter next year.
But the Scorps have to go and if they do then maybe more MRV's? Or perhaps some CV 90's? (Crusties would be apoplectic at that - which would make it worth it for that reason alone! :-) Can just imagine them going on and on about Ireland having "Tanks" Lollers!
