1)Tanker/Transport, EW/ELINT & AWACS- New model based around A340-300.VIP-A340-300,A330-200 & A319.
1A) Tactical/Battlefield Airlift Transporters- C-17's & C130's

2)Air Defence-Typhoon.

3)Tactical Strike/Ground Attack/- Modify Typhoon to move the APU exhaust out of the wing root to allow Israeli style 'blended' fuel tanks to give an increased range & make it a two seater & give it a gun!!!!!.
Also have a couple of squadrons of F117's for 'special jobs'.

3A) Strategic Strike - B1's.

3B) CAS- A-10's & AC-130's.

4)Recce- UAV's plus a couple of modified F117's (RF117's) for those jobs that a UAV can't do.

Helicopters- Give the 'Battlefield Lifters' to the Army

Maritime- Give the Nimrods & SAR helicopters to the Navy

Strongly agree with dedicated hospitals near capable 'AirHeads' & introducing Flight Pay.

Increase levels of renumeration 'across the board'.

Off back to bed,now to fight off a nasty cold.
