So CAS stuck his neck out with days to do......
That said, he is correct in his assessment: there is going to have to be some pain taken by all sides as a result of the economy shambles. And on that point, why is he using 100 quid on a desert flying suit
So, FWIW, I would suggest we ditch Tornado + Puma, go with a JSF/Typhoon mix, scale down the size of the carriers (keeps the sailors happy) and offload the whole of SH to the Army. As for the Army, 16 AAB can lose parts of its Airborne element - that would only be a paper exercise anyway.
I know you will upset people, but (to the RAF at least) would make some savings without hitting capability too much. I appreciate that Tornado will be (is ?) involved in AFG, so that one would require some thought but as the great man said, nothing is sacred and we are all going to have to take some pain.
