Gents,

Seems to me that the Regt will go to the Army in the near future precisely because the RAF will need to offer up something to protect Typhoon - and which CAS is going to decline a grand bargain of passing the Regt to the Army (called whatever it's called) which will help the Army get back to full(er) manning in return for some positive feedback from the other service chiefs on the importance of Typhoon to "defence". (Never understood this new innovation to describe MoD/Services' input ot anything as "defence"... but what do I know?)

Salve, Regt.
