This is quite concerning. NATOs Wedgetail (= AWACS replacement) programme has been afaics essentially killed by US withdrawal.
I'm not sure where this laves the UK.
NATO’s effort to replace its ageing E-3A Sentry fleet has been upended after the United States pulled out of the alliance’s planned purchase of up to six Boeing E-7 Wedgetails, leaving the programme without a strategic or financial anchor, the UK Defence Journal understands.
The Dutch Ministry of Defence confirmed that Washington withdrew from the AWACS replacement effort in July, prompting the Netherlands and several European partners to abandon the joint plan.

I suspect because they can. A condition on use is unlikely to have been in perpetuity either by the lottery who funded, or by Council related to change of use. One possible route ahead would be aroun… (View Post)1 -

That sounds questionable by the school. The law is that they are required to make reasonable adjustments, which should be possible in those work systems. That certainly dates to EA 2010, but is likel… (View Post)3
