I agree, the GR4 has more 'bang per buck' than a Lynx - but not 4 times more. Go away nasty submarine, before I toss my munitions in your general direction! Oh, and would you be good enough to stay within spitting distance of the UK coast so I can get to you.
During the fireman's strike, some bright spark in the RAF puffed out his chest and told the big cheeses that however many thousand men had been provided with no loss of operational capability. So what do these people do normally. The point was that the RAF offer poor value for money compared to the other services, as the army/RN have been pared back to the bone, whilst the RAF is still decidedly fat.
