The question is: Exactly what HAVE the RAF done since the BoB (66 years ago)?
In all fairness credit should be given for the V bomber deterrent of the 60s and it's also true that several sheep were reportedly 'quite startled' by the RAF's contribution to operation Corporate. Indeed, if the runway hadn't cunningly (on more than one occasion) moved at the last minute who knows how many bombs would have actually hit the target?
It comes down to bang for the buck and Collins is correct to point out the woefully under performing return on our RAF investment. Time for changes. Big ones.
