Budget post Covid
I have a nasty feeling that Options for Change and the 2010 cuts will seem small potatoes compared to what is coming over the horizon.
Obviously no fat in the system so what might be vulnerable?
Carriers (One, Both?)
the full 148 F-35's?
Obviously the Arrows, BBMF, Bands and all the none direct stuff will get a good hard look at.
Hard to imagine Arrows moving from Scampton in the short term and all the expense involved.
Personally, If I was treasury I'd scrap all the C-17's and A-400's - if they are gone it is hard to imagine how we could support an war outside Europe - the last thing the budget would need is another Afgan/Irag gig
