This is quite concerning. NATOs Wedgetail (= AWACS replacement) programme has been afaics essentially killed by US withdrawal.

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.

Can I ask you both a question - is it done such that there are no cables interfering with the footway at all as trip hazards? A photo would be great. It's a big potential issue for eg groups aro… (View Post)1
