Draken,
I don't disagree with the carrier... What does rile me is my Service being blamed for the demise of RN carrier aviation in some crap conspiracy theory. The Mod is flat stony broke. A structural deficit of an entire years Defence budget. I think that the carrier gap is criminal but that does not entitle people to blame the RAF out of convenience because they wont face up to the reality that it is due to a lack of money for Defence, not single Service parochialism.
