"You could apply the same analogy to the RM, AAC FAA or the RN"
No, you can't.
He is saying that a separate service is unjustifiable for such a small number of aircraft and nothing else. Essentially the RAF is a one trick pony. You fly aircraft. end of dit.
The RN has aircraft (FAA), soldiers (RM), ships, submarines, divers
The Army has aircraft (AAC), soldiers, boats, combat engineers etc
The RM, FAA, and AAC are not Armed Services. They are parts of Services.
His entire point is that you cannot apply the same analogy to the RN and Army because we have many capabilities.
(and don't even try to call the Rocks a capability, before someone tries to......
)
