I've heard/read that a new ski ramp has been built at either Cottesmore or Wittering, and will be used instead of the one at Yeovilton. Presumably other facilities will also be moved or built new to replace the ones at Yeovilton. Is this a sensible use of the taxpayers money? And why is it such a good idea that fixed wing carrierborne aircraft come under Strike Command, but rotary wing ones come under CINCFLEET?
Meanwhile, from the
Telegraph -
We can't afford to forget Trafalgar
In 1805, the British depended on nobody but themselves. We cannot return to those days. The Americans, however, are unlikely to go on providing us with a naval umbrella if we make no effort to join the effort of common defence.
