Anyone taken Gordon Brown into consideration? He's just announced 'drawdown' in public spending. Mind you, the Government ought to think about keeping morale up for all the guys and girls out in Oman (or similar). I agree that this is a test of downwards loyalty for the MOD, the next few months will be interesting (for want of a better word). I understand there are many requests at Innsworth for re-entry to the RAF. How times change!
