Chaps. Lets be honest here - and for those who don't realise, this may come as a bit of a shock............We don't have enough of it to go on our own!

For all those who found that new info, sorry - no way of softening the blow. However, my £0.02-worth is as follows:
US Marines - far more aircraft than the RAF has, period. No comparison.
We have capabilities the coalition partners don't have and vice versa. Higher control makes best use of mix.
How I'd have loved to see something like an Apache providing CAS for the Brown Jobs etc. Possibly in the future - possibly with an RAF roundel on the side? Nice thought.
