QED, as I said before, give the airframes to the RAF or RN - they have a better appreciation of airpower than cannon-fodder infanteers and donkey-walloping chinless cavaliary officers that run the Army. Especially as they down-size, the teeny-weeny airways mob will get more and more squeezed to protect 'core' Army capabilities like boots on the ground and tanks.

PS. I like the teeny-weeny mob and I'm sure the crabs/fisheads would welcome them to their respectively more techno-phillic Services. Hell, we'd even take the ginger one!
