    Can we assume anything with this government? It is painful to think of all the numbers that have been retired over the years, the auxiliary squadrons etc there are only so many numbers to go round and with even more cuts I hate to say it but I could see the day when 1, 3 and 4 are all just a bunch of lads sitting in a darkened room controlling UAVs that are somewhere else and that would be the sum total of the Royal Air Force.

    It isn’t just the Falklands, what about the other overseas territories and Commonwealth countries that rely in British good will?
