Leon,
Thank you for showing some moral courage and speaking against the tide of angst. Whilst it is tragic news for a chunk of our personnel, it could have been much, much, much worse. I agree with you. At the risk of being branded a toady I think CAS has played a blinder in the face of Army and Navy leaking and backstabbing and much ill-informed nonesense. The RAF of 2020 owes a great deal to Sir Steve and the others that have worked so hard over the last few months.
****ty times... but let's see what happens to the police etc
