Wazz,
I have heard people repeat similarly paranoid rumours about the intentions of the current CAS, but:
a) It's pretty certain he won't be the next CDS, and
b) I wish he cared half as much as this about helicopters, but I don't really think he does.
In any case, I fully agree with your last point - it doesn't matter what uniform you wear as long as you're delivering operational effect. I think it has been proven in spades recently that all 3 services pull the stops out and get the job done - time everyone was treated fairly.
