I remember chatting to an ex Staish at a secret Wiltshire AT base not so long ago who reckoned he'd put together a very compelling argument for binning the RAF in favour of some kind of 'Army Air Support Service'. In fact, the model already exists, he reckoned, with the USMC.
Thought it was a load of cr*p myslef. Wouldn't fancy marching to work every day and wearing a beret wherever I went. There's too much tradition enshrined in our fine service for that to ever happen.
No doubt its at the top of our wise leaders' agendas...
