Well they already turned over (partially) the RAF's Harriers to the RN.

So they would turn over all the other fixed wings to the Army?

....... I think the British might be on to something...

Well my personal view is they should abolish the RAF and the Army and just turn everything over to the navy. But I might just be slightly biased...

Oh I can see it now, the RN flush with Army gear gives it all to the Royal Marines. The Royal Marines get it in their heads that they should be a separate branch.

The UKMC!

The results will be disastrous!!

The Booties already think that. They hate it when it is pointed out that it says Navy on their ID card

Well they shouldn't....they should feel honoured that they are the army of the senior service
