There was quite a nasty anti-GR4 whispering campaign going on ahead of SDSR, and several newspaper articles at the time had either derived from or lifted quotes from PPRuNe threads. I didn't want to let the following nonsense go unanswered, lest it be accepted as 'fact' by some lazy bottom-feeding tabloid journo:
When GR-9 eventually leaves KAF(if GR-4 ever deploys) the RAF's ability to support British soldiers in contact on the ground will diminish FACT!!!!!
How did that one work out then?
