Isn't Mr Peach going to be
very busy for the next 18mths - 2 years to be able to be CAS (even if his flying badge "debars" him from the appointment
). I'm sure those in the know will know. Knowledge and all that. After that I reckon he will be VCDS.
As for the next CAS - assuming it happens in the next couple of years - I think it will only ever be a "holding appointment" waiting for the likes of Timo, Baggers or, god forbid, Harps to get enough "time in" to hold the rank! The Dark Lord as CAS, perhaps with Baggers as CINC AIR, current Air Off Scotland as DCINC and Osby as AOC 1. Now that would be interesting (and probably a bit of fun as well). Mr L, ex staish at Brize, may even be AOC 2 by then.....!
And for a bit of fun what about the next CDS? Unlikely to be Torpy, Dannett has blown his chances (IMHO). Gen Richards anyone? Or Gen Lamb .... Maybe a sailor will get a look in!
