"but let's not forget who does what, best."
So you have stats to prove this do you?
and "best" at what precisely?
Each service (or arm of service ie FAA/AAC) fulfils roles generally dissimiliar (with a few exceptions) from the other. Thats why they were originally formed although I accept that we are moving into the era of increased jointery, so maybe a joint FS organisation will be a good thing.
Crabs flying off war canoes can learn from the Fleet Air Arm's experience and vice versa with our SHAR force now under the auspices of 3 Group RAF (although headed by a WAFU).
