We haven't got enough attack planes, the documentary on the TV a few weeks ago said, "we had three attack planes to protect the whole of the UK."

Go on then tell us what the rest are doing. The RAF has around 500 fighter jets and around 500 other aircraft.

We have no Nimords, the Harriers have been sold off and the other aircraft were on other peace keeping duties.

Where do you get 500 fighter jets from?, We've got 22 Eurofighter Typhoon's and 98 Tornados which are to be taken out of service in 2019, that's not 500 is it?

Cameron has already cut 1£billion from the defence budget in two weeks since he won the election.
