Well after all the fanfare the RAF Chinook are coming home after the Nepal government refused to allow them to deploy on the basis of some highly spurious reasons from “They will damage buildings” to “India/China won’t like it”!
My personal theory this is more down to shambolic bureaucracy and a reluctance to accept help from the old Colonial masters, so despite the UN asking for them based upon the desperate need for helicopter lift in the disaster area and the UK doing the right thing sending out three valuable Chinook in very short order they are coming home!
