It does make me laugh that right up until he slagged off the RAF, everybody on this Forum thought he was great.
Just read the old thread about his speech etc.
Anyway, he wasn't suggesting that we didn't need Military aircraft and Pilots, just that there was no need for them to be RAF.
He merely believes (as do most of us that wear a more elegant uniform) that he would get better service and value for money from the Army and FAA.
Seems reasonable to me.
