1638526501741101056 | Capt Dan Stembridge @Whole_Ship tells @CommonsDefence We play politics over F35 Are they carrier-borne systems able to operate on land? Or land-based systems able to operate at sea? We we make the choice NOT to decide which leads to double accounting of what you use them for https://t.co/qh93D6c6rC | 16 |
1638154368930250753 | Baroness Goldie - MoD Minister of State tells @CommonsDefence the number of SSN-AUKUS submarines to be built has (unsurprisingly) not been decided. https://t.co/bpC84M6h21 | 10 |
1638527529316151304 | @Whole_Ship @CommonsDefence "The Navy does not own the air systems, the money, capability development or force generation. This creates tension (intensional or not) and question marks over what is an air wing" | 6 |

1637864353486495754 | Wednesday's @CommonsDefence session on UK defence aviation procurement includes (the now unfortunately Twitterless) Andy Netherwood, formerly of the @RoyalAirForce, @Whole_Ship, formerly of the @RoyalNavy, & @Deptula_David, formerly of the @USAirForce. https://t.co/Powt9m2OPZ | 4 |
1638558794866106370 | Capt Dan Stembridge @Whole_Ship absolutely nailling it in @CommonsDefence today. Pulls no punches and no wishy washy arguments. • 3x E-7 buy is pointless • Not enough F-35s, and the sharing concept is inadequate and is leading to “double-accounting” when it comes to capability. | 4 |
1638527309324886017 | @Whole_Ship @CommonsDefence "We have Navy that force-generates a maritime task group and an Air Force that force-generates air systems. Navy has responsibility for Carrier Strike but does not have the levers to affect that." | 4 |
1637480990560886784 | I note @CommonsPACAC has succeeded in getting Michael Gove in front of it - on Weds pm, when...there's some other stuff going on. It also clashes with Ben Wallace @CommonsDefence Sub-C'tee, Baroness Casey @CommonsHomeAffs & Carol Vorderman @Commonswomequ... #SelectCommittees 1/2 | 3 |
1639262287243378691 | The VAPC Bill will not address in any of the experiences of Statutory failings that have been presented to Parliament in submission & survey. Indeed it reinforces MoDs intransigence to keep justice at arms length. @VeteransAPPG @CommonsDefence @IDA_UKDefence @Forewarned_AWAW 2/ | 3 |

1638531291665559553 | @NavyLookout @Whole_Ship @CommonsDefence This was always going to be a problem when the operation of RN fixed wing aircraft was transferred to the RAF. It's almost a case of history repeating itself: the FAA under RAF control from 1918 until 1937 proved disastrous, and it took most of WW2 to put matters right. | 23 |
1638574298389520396 | @NavyLookout @Whole_Ship @CommonsDefence Danny raises a really good point. Sadly, this was not only politics but ££. Reality - there was (and there remains) insufficient ££ to generate separate Lightning forces for both RN and RAF. It had to be combined to survive. 5th Gen vital for land & sea-based air pwr combat edge. | 10 |
