Quote from the RAF Air Power Review Autumn/Winter 2010
"The ability to project power from the air and space to influence the behavior of people or the course of events".
“In today’s world, it is a regrettable fact that there are many conflicts and fragile cease-fires waiting to explode into fighting, not just in the Gulf area but in Asia, Africa, and even within Europe. The RAF must be ready to deliver flexible air power anywhere in the world.”

So......no Harriers, no Nimrods, no money
, an aging Transport and SH fleet, the SARF in disarray, people worked to the bone and an announcement on redundancies’; priceless... well to all those many who are contemplating conflicts and those fragile cease-fires waiting to explode into fighting, not just in the Gulf area but in Asia, Africa, and even within Europe, (and let’s not forget the Falkland Islands)
Well at least we still have the Royal Navy
Rule Britannia!
Mr Cameron, Mr Fox and Co. Get a grip and fast
