Looks like it is the RAF that is going to get hit.

There are calls to reduce the RAF and merge most of it with the RN or the Army.

Now since the RAF really came from the RNAS that would be ironic.

I do think that the RAF could be slimmed down. Move strike assets to the FAA once the Tornado is retired and go with the F-35. Keep Typhoon for air defence and tactical strike, and maintain the Heavy lift with the RAF.

Transfer all helicopters between the army and the Navy.

Any CAS assets move to the Army just like the US Marines have their own aircraft.

Interesting times ahead.
