More of Keegan's tired, ill-informed anti-Eurofighter prejudice and some new nonsense about the 'inevitability' of retiring 'worn out' Jaguars. The Jaguars that could go on longer, cheaper than GR7/GR9, and which don't need a new back end to do so.

More backward looking carping about sensible reductions to Cold War armour and to unfortunate but essential changes to 'cap badges'.

But what does anyone expect from an Army historian? The tragedy is that the Telegraph give this tired windbag such credence.
