Optimistic....
Comd JHC, are you sure? I wouldn't have seen him break his Joint position over this?Did he say in an open forum or behind closed doors?
And even still, he is only a 2 star!
Forgive me for being a pessimist and I really do hope that he can pull off a Joint Force Merlin, but unless anyone hasn't realised yet, he is just like the rest of us at the moment as the past inter service rivalry (not just about the Merlins) has resulted in this being elevated to 3 and 4 star level.
Sadly, he is but just another adding their tuppence worth to a subject which is now out of his control.
Fingers crossed though and certainly very clever to link our new CH47 to the Fisheads getting Merlin-yet more excellent staff work!

Ah. Just checked the JHC web site, Mike Ellis is Director Force Development. In that case sense should prevail. An extremely sound mind - and VERY broad shoulders indeed..
