It shouldn’t matter what Service fills the top jobs, it’s down to capability rather than it’s our turn. And Lord West knows that.
And whilst I can’t comment on Adm Radakin - he was an outside bet for 1SL anyway - Ben Key was allegedly all set for stardom until a bit of long screwdrivering caused a change of plan - give it a couple of years and I’d bet my house on Tim Fraser getting the job next time round.
