"Stu Peach for CAS. Hard as nails, takes no sihte, and the most proficient air warfighting man I have ever met. Including me."
Totally concur - best senior RAF officer that I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Totally supportive of his staff and utterly focussed on the job. He's done wonders as CDI and I think he could do a great job as CINC or CAS.
As for this
"So you mean to tell me that if a CAS turns out to be “Not one of us” he would not be got rid of."
I'm still asking who would be doing the 'getting rid of' - people seem to think that "senior MOD figures" would do this. Who are these people- only 1 Officer is senior to CAS and that is CDS. Are you saying that if CAS speaks out CDS will sack him? He didn't sack CGS when he spoke out?
Once again - who are these mysterious MOD figures you speak off?
