No it isn't. Was it ever looking good?

Save time when crossing a one-way street by only looking in the direction of oncoming traffic. - D. Rogers, Hemel Hempstead
When crossing a one-way street always look in BOTH directions in case a large blue furniture removal lorry is reversing the wrong way up the road. - D. Rogers, Hemel Hempstead General Infirmary

Don't believe everything you read.
102,000 to 82,000: do the maths, but wait and see.
CThe ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Well 38 are already earmarked for the axe, 62 Sqn went as did 45 so we've done a bit of preemptive striking. I would say that 28's future isn't too rosey though, the amph capability will go purely to the TA. Will 39 remain at five squadrons; unlikely. Given that the Corps used to send all sorts of Sqns down to the FI to do air support is there really a requirement for an air support regiment? Not really convinced myself; more like 12 group HQ trying to justify their existence. Keep the ASST and re-role the regiment into something more relevent instead of being the Corps reserve for manpower and being lumbered with every shit job possible because 12 Gp, like Barclaycard, love to say yes.
