Yup, I agree with you, but I just can't see how that kind of line would be sustainable with the media these days. If for example, the RAF had shoved thirty-odd Tornado GR1's straight into storage in 2009 I think it would be kinda like inviting "open season" to media and politicians who would doubtless claim that it's a waste of taxypayer's money. I just can't see that many aircraft being stored somehow.
