I think PN sums it up really. The attitude appeared to be one of little cross-pol between Services - with the consequent lack of in depth knowledge of what the hunted were actually doing. I have seen the same thing with the Canadians in both the MPA and maritime helicopter world (now both air force run) where there is an inbred lack of deep interest in the Naval aspects of their trade. I suppose the same could be said with the attitude to embarked fixed wing....we go there under sufferance.
