Strategy is useless if Senior Officers lack the Balls and resources to deliver it. Bader had the courage or arrogance to declare his Sqn non operational in 1940 how many of today's Sqn Commanders would deliver that kind of news to Group?
That's easy.......None! Knighthoods and Pensions to worry about don't you know. They'd rather run their personnel ragged than admit what's staring them in the face. Sadly, the "can do" attitude of said personnel saves their ar$e every time.
To be fair, a Tornado squadron at Lossie did just that two or three years ago, its in Air Clues somewhere.
