Jacko,
Your carrier argument................once in my lifetime and that was 27 years ago.
Would you apply that line of argument to our Nuclear Deterrent? The fact it has never been used in anger would surely render it surplus to requirements in your journalistic world? I do hope not.
Whilst I would never suggest disbanding the RAF is the solution, it remains clear that something drastic is required. I remain unconvinced that the scrapping of the Carriers is the solution either.
The earlier posting:
"I dont want to see the RAF go but some members of that force, including ex and mildly amusing supporters of, would do rather well to read some history books, with a heathly portion of geography to go."
I like that. You could add the odd journo to that list too.
Regards,
SJ
