That will be BBC Radio 4 then.

I take it that you have never worked for the BBC then.
You may find that the BBC is not very "jointed".
But then if I wanted an aircraft re-fuelled, armed ,and a pilot to fly it for a low level night sortie, I might not get much help from an assortment of snowdrops, MT drivers and cooks.
Having worked for the Beeb, I can tell you there is very little mixing of staff, and the radio four tribe are poles apart from the 24hour news gang

But on the other hand, if you could come up with a scheme to fund the Air Force by licence fee, as per BBC, it would be great. There would be 5 pilot's per aircraft, more aircraft than you could use, load's of stations, and at least 100,000 personnel, (oh, and very cheap, high quality food too).
