NEW DEFENCE AND SECURITY REVIEW

Not sure if this has been covered but the PM announced a new Defence and Security review just before Parliament closed 3 days ago for the summer (2 hours) to be led by the National Security Advisor. So what projects are under threat?

Probably going to include Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and St John's Ambulance in the uniformed numbers.

I'd put a few pennies on 5 Sqn being scrapped as soon as possible, despite their contribution to ops. Perhaps an update on the future of the E-3D too.

Reductions for the army are inevitable too imho.
