Balanced, perhaps, but useful?

Too few SHARs to sustain any sort of CAP, and too few GR7s to be worthwhile.

And crucially, including an asset that could not be economically sustained in the longer term.

And in an era where the air threat is negligible, and where we can rely on land based and allied assets for air cover.....

At least giving the dark blues GR7s gives them a job that needs doing.

Nice pic for nostalgia, though.
