Briton Orders 2.4 Billion Cut Including F111 Cancel
Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced a 2.4 billion dollar austerity package in Britain. The plan cancels 50 American F111 fighter bombers with 300 million in penalties and shifts British defense away from the Far East and Persian Gulf by end of 1971. Military bases outside Europe reduced, but Europe and the U K remain deployable. The move aims to avert financial chaos after the November devaluation and to aid Commonwealth defense coordination with Malaysia and Singapore.
