Factor that in to the theatre in Afghanistan & the role of the 'drones' doesn't seem to be included in the 'review' - why not?
It's a way to pull out prime forces (and destroy local economies based on their local deployment) from a country that wants independence from Westminster. RAF Lossiemouth is now on tenterhooks.



When Nimrod was removed from RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall, the local economy suffered greatly.

Most of my role in the RAF latter years were in support of Nimrod down there.
