Seldom,
reminds you of that joke about the italians running the trains, the english doing the cooking and the french running the army, or something like that. imagine the army running all helicopters, yikes.
All helicopters, one capbadge, admin/personnel by RAF, engineered by navy and flown by the aircrew of the JHC. Lets call it the Royal Flying Corps, cracking name.
Any brass out there with the balls to make it happen?

"On another note, and this is something normally 'discussed' over a few wets :why not let the Army operate all Helicopters ? That way the RAF can concentrate on providing fast air and AT and can spend the pitiful helo budget on a VC10/tanker/ replacement and some more predators?"
The way I see it, if the RAF gave it's helis to the Army, the funding also would pass so we'd be no better off. Also, I daresay if you tried to move X amount of aircrew and groundcrew to the Army, you'd have a goodly amount of PVR's. I'd surmise there's the two main reasons why the RAF won't give up their assets without getting something back.

Land pay for the RAF rotary assests not the RAF, thats why SH gets no money, because JHC is skint.
Rotary all RAF that way they can fund aviation!!!! and Land can fun troops on the ground, sound logical???

Does that mean Land also funds the RAF Regiment?

Lets not forget you've all got to have your dinky day sacks and trainers, money well spent.
The trainers were being sold, not given away. The rucksacks cost peanuts, perhaps we should do away with regimental dress and have 1 uniform for the army, that would save alot
Anyway back to the thread........
