MaxR - you're obviously a glass half full person.
Let's put personalities to one side here (even though we all know the Chief Operating Officer NPAS is to blame).
The damage has been done. Aircraft have been chopped, Bases have been closed. There is NO going back because to improve on this situation requires money and buckets full.
The government are not going to reverse their mandate - which is to streamline the force and save money, is it?
Therefore, I ask you/anyone: What can be done by Cambs (Chair of NPCC Air Support) to ameliorate the situation when the problem is response times predominently?
if forces are to be provided with effective air support
as efficiently as possible, arrangements need more fundamental reform. It would be
difficult for us to conclude that NPAS has a sustainable future in its current form
