Unfortunately, in these frugal times, the RAF has become 'air centric' to protect its core capabilities; Maritime air and Army co-op are on the periphery of that. Hence, JHC retain autonomous control of all heavy-lift rotary, so that's ring-fenced (for now!), and MPA, ASTOR and CAS are relinquished.
Personally, I'm as shocked as the next man and know more than most the sterling work that Kinloss have provided over many decades, much of it secret, vital to defence, and unsung. Not forgetting those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Good luck to those across the RAF who have lost their roles.
