Sorry but the EIS is quite clear on this... they will be slightly inconvenienced. It is only Gould's Petrel that will not be inconvenienced. This is an official Government document after all, and therefore contains only the truth (albeit in draft form).

If we lost 75% of our upper ranks, apart from being more efficient and saving a great deal of cash, we wouldn't notice the difference.

This is a hoary old chestnut that often comes up. OK then, Piltdown Man, we've got (not counting specialist docs, dentists, padres and lawyers) just over 100 air rank positions. Forget 75%, how about you name just 10 posts that we could remove, and explain what we would do (or not) about the tasks that those 10 people do?

(BTW, I ain't in one of them!)

Here in the South of France we have regular visits from L'Armée de l'Air and mighty fine they are. But then, of course we don't have to live with burning, noisy, over-priced, non-op, Harrier replacements. Theirs are all very smart, sleek jets!

Don't forget that the UK also had to pay for its share of the development of Typhoon, and purchase of a varying number (at least 150, perhaps as many as 225 if I remember aright).

Which cost the UK MORE than either the UK share of the F-35B program or the building of the RN's two floating bird farms (and possibly as much as both combined).

I frequently complain about the use of the very silly term "huggy-fluffy" on this forum.

Simply reversing the order of the words does not make it any more excusable

Have to go and finish my muesli now - I have a lot of yoghurt to knit tonight!
