Totally agree, if there are still arguments to be had after the political descion, lets make our airships earn their pay, not us at the squadron level.
There is this big ongoing study and of course PR12, both of which I am sure that CAS and his team will fight our corner. Even I as the most sceptical of senior officers recognise that in this extreme fiscal climate they are doing the best job possible at fighting tooth and nail for us at every stage. They managed to save the Tonkas and keep the Fisheads out of fixed wing, I am sure that they will be able to do the same with Merlin.
It isn't over yet, but it is not for us to slag each other off, trying to compare genitalia - that certainly ain't going to draw resolution, and don't we have some real enemies to fight?
