What we are looking for - in the re-attitude stakes - is the desire to be as good as you possibly can with just one hour of training a day. There are many who have to manage with NO daily training so let's think positively about this new strategy given that the profligacy of the past has meant that we have to leave the Rolls Royce (sorry we had to sell that), OK the Bentley (Oh! we had to sell that too!) then the Jaguar (what - we sold that too!) - well let's just say that MoD were past masters at wanting the BEST as opposed to what we could afford.

Personally I believe that whatever equipment our military and our SAR teams have they will have the character and ingenuity to deliver their very best. As far as I can tell we in the UK have almost made 'making-do' into an art-form.
