Has it? That depends on whether being told in lots of different ways that the figures arent comparable counts as a comprehensive answer. While I've enjoyed the banter the only thing I've learned is that the official figures roll in lots of unspecified but very substantial costs which aren't directly related to pilot training.
Agenda? Not in the way I think you're suggesting but RAF pilot training has slowed to a trickle, which concerns me. This is largely down to cost, or rather, perceived cost. Allowing others to dump other costs in your budget is termed in accountancy "being shafted" and will lead to the service losing future budgetary battles...and maybe real ones too!
