Harrier needs a break?
The only British Military air platform that can be deployed instead of it is the GR4?
Insty, yes. IMHO, those not in a fight are often ashamed that they are not there helping. Just a thought, but the GR4 pain is spread much less widely than the Harrier pain and I am guessing that the GR4 guys would feel sidelined, especially if the Telic deployment winds down.
As for the second bit, that someone else thinks the Tonka is not doing enough, I could not possibly comment except that the use-it or lose-it argument might apply.
