SDSR vs historical 'efficiencies'.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have numerous threads across this forum discussing both historical and imminent 'efficiencies'. Whilst the effect, from every cut-back, promoted a prominently negative response at the time of instigation (despite the era) - did the streamlining, 'leaning' and the reductions, at the time, achieve the goal?
My 'starter for 10': 174k officers and airmen served in the RAF in 1939 - are we strategically better placed, counting the technological advancements, with less personnel today?
Appreciate that there is a cross-generation audience here - hence the above!
