As has been noted earlier, the recent bashing of the light blue by retired officers of both the RN and the army seems to be a symptom of all the cuts to assets and personnel across the three services (I won't say defence cuts implying less spends, we've heard plenty about still having the IVth largest defence budget on the globe). They're an utter disgrace trying to make the case against any one service. This won't result in a substantial increase in spending on army and naval budgets even if the R.A.F. is abolished entirely with the other two given full latitude to decide just what items of air power they want for themselves, they'll get sweet FA as the treasury rubs its hands with glee.
