... The WAFU's have Taranto Night. Why don't the Crabs have BofB Night????
My (old) unit had a BofB Night last year!

The Army and the Navy have certain requirements and interests built up over centuries of warfighting. They are unlikely to care about vast volumes of airspace, air transport, air-air refuelling or long-range air defence as these have little direct impact on their operations. It would cause an enormous amount of expense and pain to carve up the RAF cake and allocate slices to the other services. So it won't happen.

BTW I heard the Army were ditching CS95 in garrison and moving back to barrack dress, because of wear and tear.
