It’s up in the air, (sorry) depending broadly on which package of suggestions they take (or a pick and mix), more helicopters at least (and if the Navy gets its package nearly double the airframes ultimately), very likely a transport capability will be acquired, the Government Jet replaced with a more multi role airframe, all the way to the wish list of 2 squadrons of fighters…

Between the Commissions report, Afghanistan and everything the Russians have been up to since the start of the year, defence has never been getting more attention and debate here.
