'Blame' Land for the lack of SH funding - they hold the purse strings there. We need something to replace the F3, and we will need something to replace Tornado, unless you're advocating we become a niche capability air force by 2025.
Might I suggest that we could, in fact, invest in both T3, JCA, SH and AT if the MoD stopped spending £2.3bn per year on consultants and that it would be far better to argue that we need all the capabilities rather than do the usual 'let's make the treasury happy that it's still dividing and ruling amongst the services' arguing over what to cut. I put ' ' around 'blame' above, since they have to make very awkward funding choices thanks to government parsimony and suggesting fault isn't entirely fair, IMHO.
LM - the three billy goats gruff will be over that bridge shortly and you can resume proper trolling duties there.
