Whilst like most I would welcome an increase in the number of FJ assets the UK has, surely a more pressing problem is the forecast severe shortage of pilots in that role. Despite recent events, the force will still be well below current pilot levels, leaving even fewer people to do even more roles.
The Gov't needs to ensure it can fill the shortfalls in manpower across all 3 services before it considers trying to increase the size of any of them!
