WEBF / A and C,
Well aware of Navy cutbacks too, but some of your barnacled colleagues are suggesting closing the RAF on the basis of saving on infrastructure. How can you save money by closing a service and simply dividing the assets up between Army and RN as this idiot who caused this thread has suggested? It would surely cost a great deal more to train up a load of new pilots to fly your now empty airframes......cos I'm not aware of many RAF frontline aircrew who would wish to crossover to another service - it seems to work the other way round though!
