The reduction in personnel, types and capability, in my view, means we have reached a point where it is no longer a sensible use of the declining resources to maintain 3 air arms (RAF, FAA, AAC).
The logical alternative is 2 services but, we trust, that would not be politically acceptable.
I would argue that the logical alternative is 1 Service and that is politically acceptable but the Royal Navy and the Army don't like it!

PS. in case you haven't worked it out the 1 Service starts with a 'R' and ends in an 'AF'.
