I seem to remember a claim lately that the RN actually won the Battle of Britain and the RAF were just a bunch of half trained kids swanning about having fun with the Luftwaffe.
Nothing new then that the senior service want rid of those upstarts in light blue.
Privatising might be more likely. BBAF anyone? Blackwater British Air Force, manned entirely by Americans of course. Besides everyone knows that the days of the manned combat aircraft are numbered
It will be all drones. All the rest of the flying can be done by civvies.
