Well folks,
Many of you may not have read it yet, but today's Telegraph has announced the as yet to be approved cuts in Toy spending. Evidently, there will be 16'000 fewer military personnel altogether. This will break down as 7'000 from the R.A.F. 2'000 from the Navy and Marines and the rest from the Army. Equipment wise, this will mean; only 107 Typhoons, all GR4s to be phased out over 5 years, 5 fewer sea going vessels, including 2 Submarines, and a 40% reduction in Armourde Vehicles and the loss of a 5'000 strong Brigade.
Bases on the chop list include; Lossiemouth and Marham. The report also says this will mean the need for only one Tiffy base. However, Leuchars is not on ze list? The report also claims that we will get the F35, but fewer than 50!?
