Quite. But then again the Navy are still smarting that they think the RAF moved Australia to prove a point. Even though it’s urban myth, it would be incredibly sloppy staff work not to pick up on such tectonic activity.
That said, when you’ve got so few airfields, it only takes one runway to go black, one fuel supply to be contaminated, one freak accident to wipe out half the aircrew in the Mess and you’ve got a problem. Times they are definitely a changing. And a
resilient and flexible global posture needs more not less.
