"Perhaps when faced with calls from within the Army and RN to disband the RAF, Sir Glenn decided to come out fighting!"

Quite possibly; it's a game that two or three can play. "One nation, one air force" might not even be a bad idea. If you look at the way that the Marine Air tail is wagging the USAF/USN fighter-force dog in the US, you have to wonder.
