I've been hearing the words that SDSR might be a 'catastrophic success' in that we'll get the equipment we want but will be unable to man it or train people for it due to previous crass decisions (like MFTS, DCTT, etc...).

Luckily, the madness of the 'single gateway' into the RAF seems to be faltering - why would you attempt to b^gger around with your recruit training system when you know that you're going to undershoot the FF2020 Manpower target in 2016! Furthermore, the MFTS changeover at Cranwell might just bail out some of the training targets for aircrew due to there being an amount of time where the RAF and MFTS are running in parallel - however, log-jams will follow soon after if all of the new jets need manning for ops and not OCUs.

Anyway, we'll see. The best bit of news for me would be the dissolution of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) - fat chance of that happening. They are doing more damage to the RAF than the Luftwaffe did in 1940...
