Yes, Congratulations to the RAF leadership for helping to damage the RN/FAA capability far more effectively than any enemy could have done. They must be very proud of themselves.
However what a pity that it was also at such a detriment to our island nations worldwide maritime defence capability. With both the Sea Harriers and Nimrods now gone, thank goodness there are not likely to be any long range conflicts/wars anymore and our Navy will no longer need to depend on its own aircraft for quick reaction Fighter/Strike/Reconnaissance operations (particularly when a long way from any meaningful land based airfield support).
Churchill must be turning in his grave as to how the MoD could have allowed such rediculous decisions to be made!!
