Ok, I will trust you when you say it was factored in. I'm just interested. I/we have gone from an age when we carried our own onboard fixed and rotary assets, and much more from the RAF - to what we have now, which I guess would be UK land based Fighter Bombers from somewhere in the UK. Not Yorkshire apparently.
Things like this may be more and more the future operations for the UK military - who are supposed be to be lighter, more responsive more hard hitting etc etc, to read the blurb.
But one wonders about it all, which is why I posted the slightly provocative slightly tongue in cheek starter.
The public wont have it if and when it goes wromg, however.
