It's all a matter of priorities amongst Admirals/generals/Airships etc. And as MGD and I both know, if push came to shove the Airships would bin all rotary to keep lots of fast and pointed .....

..... and similarly the Admirals will happily bin FW to keep "capital ships" they can fly their flags from - apparently oblivious of the irony of flying said flags on carriers with no 'arriers .....

Now if t'Army had to choose between tanks and Apache - that might be interesting too ........
