The media have virtually zero knowledge of aviation from the technical perspective hence the non sequitur rubbish one reads in the press. Carry that across to military matters and similar lack of understanding from the politicians with their virtually useless PPE or Classics degrees from Oxbridge. Just allows them access to the lifetime gravy train. Lack of respect for infinitely more challenging STEM subjects. Thatcher whether you agreed with her politics or not had a degree in Chemistry. Rant over.
