I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

FC, I think we are in broad agreement. While I hold no brief for Lord West, I think his lordship had it right when he said the SDSR was not strategic at all.

C17? Actually the whole heavy fleet, C130, A400, Voyager.

Voyager probably fine. The others, like Chinook, need to be balanced against the strategic assessment. Oh for a nice bit of dry desert somewhere.
