Hmmh
We have heard the same. Apparently AH will be kept in the hangars with flying rates/spares reduced as it is too expensive to go anywhere (rumoured that treasury block all orbats that include AH).
So from the looks of it the mighty AH will end up under RAF control (no Lynx no AAC) and be used as an Emergency Service for the biggy conflicts where the treasury will suddenly find a pot of gold.
How foolish - but if that's the way they want to play it don't expect my usual enthusiasm, loyalty and working all hours/separation from family etc.
It is now just a job isn't it - no amount of hard work and separation from family will ever balance the continued overwhelming reduction in resources - can it?
