I am well aware that we have the two more modern jet powered Lockheed transport planes but we still have the Hercules and as they are most uncomfortable and noisy I am still very much wanting those used for repatriation, why spend money on commercial comfortable flights? Fuck them!!! They were welcomed with open arms and shat on our hospitality.
In his case I am guessing he and his equally sick friends showed bugger all sympathy to the young girl they gang raped so he deserves none at all.
Have you any idea how much a special flight using military aircraft would cost ?
And how many would be on board a repat flight to Somlalia ? FFS, all the crew and security staff, plus fuel, landing fees and a return journey - astronomic.
You really do live in cloud cuckoo land if you consider that practical.
See post I just bumped for you re NATO flights via Turkey a NATO Ally, and I am sure your head is not so far up in the clouds to realise we are involved Militarily in countries surrounding Turkey and I am sure you will understand me when I say Only A Moron would think I meant to specially charter a C130 to repatriate one individual :pmsl:
To send any military plane to SOMALIA (Turkey has nothing to do with this man, he is Somalian) that is EXACTLY what would need to happen.
There is no regular military flight from UK to Somalia, or from Turkey to Somalia, come to that. And if you want NATO allies to fly him, do you seriously it's done for free ???
The cost is roughly £20,000..........PER HOUR.
