The US continues to fly Harriers in Afghanistan, keeping them in the air by cannibalising the ex RAF planes!

Words fail me when it comes to the sheer incompetence regarding this decision. It wouldn't have even been so bad if they had secured market value for the planes with the British tax payer in mind.

But nooo! Thats right, sell them for a song, after all, what does it matter, its only our money after all. You couldn't make it up!
