RAF Fighter Numbers

The report that the RAF will reduce to just 127 fast-jet aircraft, "the lowest number that the RAF will have fielded since its creation in 1918,"  is dismal. On the other hand, at the same time, the RAF will be able to boast no less than 14 huge Voyager air refuelling tanker aircraft (leased on a watertight 30-year PFI deal).  We may not be able to deliver much of a punch but we shall certainly be able to reach a long way!
