So let me get this right. We spend a fortune on various types of ship to give us an expeditionary capability. Half the arguments on here are about how the RN is much better for such things because, while it moves a little slower, it can carry a lot more. But when theres a problem moving the army - its all the RAFs fault...

Tell them to hire a bl**dy boat, its how we moved the army around the empire until the 60s - and stick it on the army's bill.
