More pain for the Army I expect, the Senior and Junior Services are about as 'skinny' as it gets. I still think there are some effiiciiences to be made:

1. AAC/RNAS aircraft/aircrew to the RAF including eng/log support functions, plus get rid of JHC as there would be no need for it.
2. RAF Regt function to the Army.

Basically, if it floats then it's RN, if it trundles in or on the ground it's Army and if it flies it's RAF. It makes no sense otherwise - why train a gunner in the RAF Regt to do the core work of the Army? Why train small cadres of specialist aircrew and engineers for the RN/Army when there is an efficiency of 'blobbing' them up in the RAF? Almost as mad as the RAF having a marine branch!

Standing by for nepotistic incoming!!!
