I hope this thread doesn't relapse into that old mil vs civ argument that occupied most of the SAR-H one. Like it or not... And I know many out there don't like it, the dye is now cast.

Let's not forget too, that fully civilianised it may be in the future, but it's still a public service operation working to do what the UK Government requires it to do.
PS - lovely new hangar at Portland for sale.... Great sea views!
