Bottom line: Britain can no longer afford the cost structure of the RAF when many of its functions are either duplicated, redundant or viable for farming out to more efficient operators. And everything, with the exception of FJ minus the worthless money pit called Harrier, can be farmed out.
OK, RatPack - let's hear your proposals. Who would you farm what out to, and how would they, quickly and efficiently, regain the capability that would be lost by the disbandment of the RAF? Remember, the aim here is cost saving.
I'm not after banter or a slanging match - that will just go round in circles until everyone gets bored of this thread. I want to know how YOU would implement these changes and make it work.
