Deliberately provocative title - but as it says.
It appears that the RAF are about to stitch the Fleet Air Arm and RN fixed wing aviation - again.

I'm aware of the history, the shared concept of F35 Ops etc, but we are buying 2 carriers. The RAF will be delighted if they can pull this off under the guise of cost saving.
You can argue the logic all you like. Personally, I'd be hard to persuade that this is not the RAF sticking one on the Fleet Air Arm - standard.
Any informed opinions on this...?
