So are we getting cuts post-2015 or increases? Mike Smith in the Sunday Times today says Osborne has refused to a 2% increase in resources after 2015.

As ever my brain is clearly not large enough to comprehend how you can increase the number of platforms you buy but not the air and ground crew you need to fly them.
