The E-Goat Defence Review '21.

[Talk Wrench]

I reckon we could design a Royal Air Force fit for the future.

I'm starting with getting rid of Typhoon and buying 150 off the shelf F-16 multi role aircraft.

Loads of spares available and loads of fun with monofuel starters for the mechanics to deal with.

To plug the gap left by the Hercs, I'm suggesting we buy a fleet of 295's

C295

The Airbus C295 is a new-generation tactical airlifter in the light and medium segment. It is robust and reliable but also highly versatile in terms of the number of different missions it can perform. The C295 conducts multi-role operations worldwide under all weather conditions. It is fully...

Oh, and amalgamate the Royal Marines and Paras into the RAF Regiment

A sizeable saving is available by ditching the new Wedgetails and simply asking a number of people to keep an eye on Flightradar24 instead. If they see anything they can call it into a central number manned by Serco.

I'm not sure if the arseholes of the Royal Marine's and Para's are elastic enough to accept an 84mm Mortar Baseplate mounting point?

There's scope in a restructured RAF for long closed camps to reopen and established members of the goat to take senior posts.

RAF Jurby Head on the Isle of Man, tax haven, TT races, decent beer, holidaying ladies (Covid permitting)

PS for CASWO,

I'd like to propose that St Mawgan be re-purposed into something actually useful, using its 9034' runway as well as the climate...something along the lines of 'land here to practice deployment' and really hone your section BBQ skills and opening bottles of beer without a bottle opener (a skill long forgotten). I could be in charge of the overall operation as a further saving could be made from me not needing military accommodation.
