What is all of the fuss about.

Is it just me, or have we been painting a Roundel and the words Royal Air Force (or Royal Navy, perhaps Army too) on our aircraft for quite some time? Hardly NEWS, and I hate the new font too.

I find it saddening that their Air-ships are currently so paranoid about the RAF being absorbed within (one or both) of the other Services that they have to persist with these futile gestures:
Erroneously adopting the Roundel (which signifies a British mil aircraft of ANY Service) as an RAF 'logo' .

Expeditionary Air Wings. (For fixed bases?!) What is wrong with identifying Squadrons as 'packets' of air power?

AIR Command! Whatever.
If the RAF et al. are going to be combined as a general defence force, a la the Canadian experiment, none of this pontificating is going to matter a jot.
