Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by former Armed Forces minister Mark Francois, criticising the “lack of aircrafts” to commemorate D-Day.
The shortage of planes for a mass parachute drop to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day shows why more money needs to be spent on defence, Grant Shapps has said.
Defence chiefs are scrambling to secure more aircraft as crises in Ukraine and the Middle East have left the RAF’s transport fleet stretched.
Hundreds of paratroopers had been expected to jump into Normandy to honour the actions of their predecessors in the Second World War, but plans have been scaled back due to a shortage of aircraft.

The government has destroyed our armed forces by taking equipment ot of use that had years of life left ,the harrier jump jet gone ,and yet the Americans still fly them in front line, the tornado gone yet Germany still use there's, to which it raises a question were our tornado jets sold to Germany for spare parts the navy retired ship's that could still be used, or is it the case the navy don't have enough man power to operate there ships, two new aircraft carriers that are problematic,😊😊

That's on top of the £2.12bn in the previous year and 6X more than the £631mn in 2018 when the Channel Rubber Ferry service kicked off. £4bn would pay for a few squaddies and their kit. A couple of C-130's too.

I write this sitting in the middle of a closed RAF station which is now my home. Looking around me, the mess made of our national security is immediately apparent. Once, 170 fighter aircraft operated here when it was the RAF's Central Fighter Establishment. That's just one airfield out of many. Our defence has been decimated by greed and shortsightedness. Never mind though, Soldiers and Airmen/Air people/Aviators, whatever, can now have beards. That'll fix it.

I can't get a straight answer to this. I've read that the Airbus A400M Atlas is a better plane than the C130. I've read that there have been 'gearbox' problems with the engines. I haven't found out whether this is a design/production problem, lack of spares or lack of maintenance. If 'availability' is persistantly below 20%, then something very wrong is going on. If something 'bad' is happening on this issue, then it's probably happening elsewhere.

In 1984 Britain spent 5.5% GDP on the military. We should be fracking and using profits to push military spending to 6% and completely rebuild the military. Any ships, aircraft, hardware etc etc should all be made in Britain creating jobs. Also I personally think it's about time we had gun ranges all over Britain and the population can go and learn to shoot different types of firearms. Because if we got invaded tomorrow, way too many wouldn't be able to fight with a stick let alone an assault rifle. If everyone knew how to clean, handle and fire a gun, we'd have a society completely ready to fight if a danger ever came to Britains shores. I even think jiu jitsu, boxing and hand to hand combat training should start in schools. A well prepared country is a far better place to be, than one panicking and suffering from being unprepared. Plus I think teens would enjoy it, might actually help reduce crime.

It's not the guys who procured the aircraft, it's at unit level, if it was the aircraft, all of them would have been grounded.

We have the sixth highest defence spending in the world. 2.3% of GDP. $70 billion per year. And we have sweet fa to show for it. We spend increasingly more for less kit. All the money going on chinless wonder civil servants, DEI diversity managers or being pocketed by Ministers cronies. And when we do buy some stuff that works out politicians immediately give it away. If I recall correctly we were sending RAF pilots to train to fly in Italy because our training establishments were too busy training Ukrainian pilots.... Why didn't they train in Italy if the Italians had the capacity to take foreign pilots for training. We should be like Poland and buy proven off the shelf equipment that works and get more bang for our buck rather than pandering to corrupt procurement processes.

How did we end up buying 22 A 400 planes that are unreliable. We have never had a strategic plan for procurement or disposal and no one is checking the basics.: We ditched the Nimrod just as a new model was ready to go into service. We then had no airborne cover for 6 years until the Boeing Poseidon was ready. We ditched the Harrier when we had no aircraft carriers but it can fly from a container ship..

Yes the Lockheed Hercules was reliable but like all machines that have given long service the fleet was worn out. The fleet had centre wing box fatigue problems as well as other issues. There was no question the aircraft had come to the end of its safe and useful life. Replacement was inevitable, if the A400 was the right aircraft is another question.

Started with John Major and his "peace Dividend" and has gotten worse since with each secretary of state for defence as they cut more off at each opportunity. The Chief of the Defence Staff has said that our armed forces will be the most dangerous in the world in 10 years, I'd be interested in how he reached that conclusion
