FACT: THERE'S NO ALTERNATIVE. Let's weigh up the facts. Only FLA is capable of carrying the key equipments required by our Rapid Reaction and Peace Keeping Forces. FLA alone meets the very specific requirements of both the RAF and the air forces of our major European allies. FLA can transport larger items, thanks in no small measure to its gargantuan cargo box volume. FLA's higher cruise/maximum speed ensures more sorties per day and less troop fatigue along the way. FLA is unique, having been designed from scratch to meet the requirements of today and tomorrow. And, wonder of wonders, FLA can deliver all this more economically and more reliably than the previous generation of tactical military transports. Closer to home, there are four other facts in FLA's favour. It will provide Rolls-Royce with a new market for high-speed turbo-props, while British Aerospace's involvement will safeguard the UK's long-term wing technology position in Airbus. It will provide Shorts with a major opportunity to develop closer ties in Europe and overall will keep the UK in the forefront of European aerospace. So then, what about the alternative? When you face the facts, frankly there isn't one. FLA FACT FILE Potential Economic boost to over 60 leading UK companies including British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and Shorts. Total potential programme value including exports, of £l2bn with £5bn from the European programme alone. Job security from 1996 for over 7,500 skilled workers in over 100 constituencies. Affirmation of Britain's technological skills in our world class aerospace industry. FLA, REPRESENTED BY BRITISH AEROSPACE PLC AND MORE THAN 60 UK AEROSPACE CONTRACTORS.
