Only the GR4 Force is big enough to sustain an operation over time. Even sharing the load the offensive mix of Harrier and Typhoon (in time) wouldn't be big enough. So before getting shot of the Bornado you have to adjust British aspirations for an enduring operation. As Alexander would say 'simple'.
