Quote: How many other countries, other than the US would be capable of this - well! France, Germany, Denmark, Australia etc etc?
And Canada, who have just declared they will contribute offensive air. All of those countries have further to travel than we do from the UK. I'm afraid I remain deeply saddened by our greatly diminished ability to project air power and am not in the least re-assured by our ability to fly a (small) flight of GR4s from Cyprus to Iraq - absolutely not a slight on the ground and air crews involved.
