Go on. Tell us the name of the Boss. Just for a laugh!

Anyway, before the inevitable whinging starts let me be the first to point out that a FJ force with 7 frontline Typhoon Sqns and a growing F35 fleet is not too shabby.

I realise the numbers of sqns are far less than the good old days but consider capability. When I joined the RAF we had Jag, Harrier, GR4 and F3 (the RN still had Sea Harrier as well of course). Our current fleet far exceeds that fleet in terms of strike and AD capability if not in pure numbers.

Anyway, if you really can’t resist feel free to start the complaining now.
