Yes of course he has a point. But these are skewed due to his, as RP says, pathological hatred of the RAF. I believe he is right when he says the RN should have a nuclear-powered carrier force, that the carriers should be equipped with catapults and arrestor gear, that the Air Wing should include strike, fixed wing AEW, COD, AAR capability etc. He ignores the fact that all this was ditched by the Naval Staff.

I also think he still thinks of the world in terms of Mk1 Golf GTi's, Concorde, Kerry Packers cricket circus and women with big hair, shoulder pads and leg warmers.
