Interesting piece in this week's Private Eye, about the number of senior officers in each of the services:-
  • The army has 90 more generals, brigadiers and colonels than required
  • 80 admirals and commodores "surplus to requirements" in the navy
  • The RAF apparently has 160 AM, AVMs, air commodores and group captains
If there are currently too many senior officers, presumably a good few won't survive any defence budget review . . . or will they?
