I made my earlier remark in jest and meant no offence by it of course, but on reflection it is worrying that the RAF in particular (and the other services in their turn) are relegating fine, highly trained and competent aviators to 'desk jobs' as a result of the cuts (too few cockpits). I firmly believe all three armed services were under strength when the ConDems came to power and reducing our armed forces further benefits nobody. The treasury plays divide and conquer and we fall for it again and again. Lets hope better days are ahead of us...
