Indeed.
My information is that there will be FOUR JCA squadrons, two RN/two RAF and possibly (additionally, and they may not be equipped with Dave Bs, nor even Daves at all) two more RAF FCAC squadrons.
You do have to start somewhere, of course, but starting with three RAF heavy and one wholly RN squadron would have made better uses of the existing resources. Moreover, I can see no good reason why the end point (with Dave) needs to be a 50:50 force either.
There's much to be said for phasing out the RN air branch altogether, letting the Navy supply the boats and letting the RAF provide and fly the aircraft.....
