Perhaps we should start some new threads:
Decision to axe Nimrod R1 is bonkers
Decision to withdraw F3 early is bonkers
Decision not to buy enough T45s is bonkers
Decision not to buy enough Typhoon is bonkers
Decision not to buy enough JSF is bonkers
Decision to reduce the Tornado fleet is bonkers
Decision to reduce the AAR force is bonkers
Decision to retire Sentinel in 2015 is bonkers
etc etc
for all the good it will do...
