The RAF will not give up its attachment to strategic bombing
Really? I thought that particular 'capability' went on 'holiday' in late 1982.....
As pretty as the DH Hornet (aka 'termite queen') was, I thought that conventional wisdom favoured flat trajectory rockets for 'w*g bashing' (as it used to be termed in far-off non-PC days) rather than 20mm shells or conventional bombs.
Personally I'd like to see a few thermobaric weapons used to smear the inside of caves with a pinkish brown sludge.
