The announcements about drones and setting up this centre of excellence and testing in Swindon is pretty good news. It's the right direction of travel. We've seen in a range of conflicts recently how these sorts of technologies are changing some of the ways in which war is fought, and so it's absolutely necessary...There has been some reporting that much needed repair work to service families accommodation for example is going to be delayed for a lack of money, so whilst the drone thing looks great on the surface and we absolutely need to do it - there's a whole load of this other stuff – if you like fixing the handle of the sphere not just the tip, because as I'm fond of saying, if you think the tip of the spear is the only important component of that weapon, then you don't understand how spears work."
