One hopes the MAA will come out as unscathed as possible.
If AVM Anderson's lot don't do their job well enough, the few aircraft that we will have left, post-SDSR, may be vulnerable to 'known' threats and hazards eg Nimrod, Hercules, Chinook, Sea King AEW and Tornado.
UK Armed Forces Ltd will not able to afford any such attrition if we are keep up the op output with limited resources (which presumably the politicians, of all colours, always seem to require)!
