The clue to why those words are missing in Sir Glenns vision are in his job title - Chief of the AIR Staff. In the same way I wouldn't expect the Chief of the NAVAL staff or the Chief of the GENERAL Staff to give many words over to Typhoon or MFTS etc.

Now if it had been the Chief of the DEFENCE Staff (BTW also a 4* Royal Air Force Officer) who had put forward his strategy without mentioning aircraft carrier, naval or CVF then I would be worried if I was Dark Blue!
