Indeed, its not my postulation air pig but this pro-naval fellow. I'll need to get the link.
Here's the link, the chap is a Boffin rather than a sailor but his claim that airfields no better than carriers is the headline, then he goes on to shoot down airfields, so to speak. He's accusing the RAF of not wanting anything to fly off a carrier, however, his real cause of upset is a Cummings comment about Carriers being leas than useless in a serious war so he's lashed out at airfields. its difficult to read the full article unless you pay the subscription.

PS Still can't understand how Cummings, an advisor, has the prominence he has on the review. There's other stuff by Danielle Sheridan, the Telegraph Defence Correspondent, from various armchair critics and Boffins etc such as the need for the MOD to prioritise spending on childcare facilities etc and something about the current CNS banging on, as N A B said, about the use of the term 'manned'. Then there's another from Lord West, still introduced as a former First Sea Lord when you know who it is once you've read the headline, complaining about too much political correctness.
