A worrying thought occurred to me (don't do it often so don't worry). If the rumours about buying P8 have any foundation in fact, the funding will have to come from somewhere in SDSR 2015. If Typhoon is now taking on a lot of AG roles and weapons, where might that leave Tornado?
I truly hope my fears are unfounded. Thing is, from an MoD/Government perspective, that would free up some Navs/WSOs for P8.
This sort of thing has been done before, as previous posters have shown. It's been done in the RAF. In these brutal times I just wonder.
Please come up with a thousand reasons why I'm wrong. It will make me feel better.
