Muff Dive,
Who is pent up little Staff Officer then? Come on, let it all out.
You are right, but do you really think that is the way it is going to be? I hope so, but alas realistically I fear not.
UK PLC is broke. Full stop......but cancel BLUH and put the money into SABR and stop hand bagging around with this procurement 'jobs for the boy' faff and then we might get somewhere with this Air Manoeuvre thingy mi gingy concept that everyone is talking about but cannot actually afford.
However, I will still take bets.......Joint Helicopter Agency, UK Helicopter Force, Defence Helicopter Force, or even The Helicopter Militia of the British Army........what is in a name hey? To the bean counters what does it matter when the Treasury does not care about operational effectiveness just in short financial term gains.
Oh and as to LTC....well old wisened one I believe that everything is up for grabs after 11 Sep and the 'SDR New Chapter'
It is abrave man that says anything is 'safe'.
