A good bloke by all accounts - so much for "no stick no vote!"
Seriously, his purple background is immaculate and I would guess that such a career path is the way ahead.
Look at his recent appointments: CDI, CJO, CJFC, VCDS - makes him a shoo in for CDS.
The single-Service Chiefs these days are barely even "providing commanders", more like Inspectors General.
"The future's bright, the future's purple!"
[although I will always treasure the look on his face at the Royal Banquet when GAPAN (Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators) became HCAP (Honorable Company of Air Pilots .......
incorporating Air Navigators!) ]
