Seriously, I have heard that in the SDR there is talk of, "much closer cooperation with the French Navy" - is this old news?

Just one service!
Why have as many as two services? If we converted the Royals into an organisation with the power, capabilty and reach of the USMC we could manage with just one and we'd have some great bands to boot. So everyone would feel part of one happy family we could make the standard uniform that new "duck hunter" style camouflage!
This possibly:
BBC News - British Army to get new uniform camouflage design
Albeit it the title doesn't say the RAF will get it!

New camouflage
Glad Rag
It's actually called Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) and will start being issued (hopefully) later this year. It is apparently based on a commercial design by US company Crye Precision and is said by some to be similar to that worn by many US duck hunters. As it's new I thought it would be ideal to help everyone bond together into the one service as I proposed (tongue in cheek) on my last post.

When the French go hunting they wear Dayglo jackets
That new cam looks bloody terrible
it looks like something from the former soviet bloc inventory that has been passed too many times between forces from Bongo Bongo land, mind you that is proabably what Brown wants, a force that resembles a good socialist one.
