JFZ90,
Fair point. However, if I'm honest, I'm still a fan of Gray. Ultimately it was he, in his original report, who pointed out that the Emperor had no clothes. I had some involvement in this area and saw the appalling head-in-the-sand attitude to the unaffordable bow-wave of committed expenditure by all at the top.
Gray wasn't a genius to see it - we all knew about it, But at least he brought it to a head with a report that did not whitewash the issue.
