What's that you say? New threats can develop more quickly than we could re-equip to meet them?
We'll be ok. Russia's no threat. It's as stable now as it was under Tsar Nicholas.... And as long as none of our own malcontent Islamo-nutters saw the TV footage of 9/11. They're not aviation people, after all. Aviation doesn't figure in their plans. That plot to spring their people from Full Sutton in a hi-jacked helicopter was a figment of the Daily Telegraph's fertile imagination.
No need for the UK to guard its own airspace, nothing to see, move along....
