Admit it chaps, the modern RAF isn't really a part of the MoD. Merely a self licking lollipop that attempts to portray itself as
the most important justification as to why it still requires a huge budget to ensure Britain remains free and the other two services should be subsumed to create an uber-Air Force. Cos after all, its down to the RAF why we don't all speak German.....
RAF Regt can defend the British Isles cos they are the main part of the 'big three'.
Typhoons can defend the airspace cos the threat of the red bear will be kept at bay so long as millions is spent of QRF.
The Navy cant operate F35 cos 'what FJ have they managed to operate in the past 10 years?'.
Tis easy so long as the cheese sarnies are up to scratch....
Bunch of civvies
