The final paragraph

The present air threat to the United Kingdom itself is minimal compared with any time since the early 1930s. The RAF has therefore had to be reoriented to be an expeditionary force. The struggles against cuts continue, with many feeling that the RAF and the Chief of the Air Staff go too far in their zealous defence of air power and control over air assets. Nevertheless, the Chief of the Air Staff is a secure post for the foreseeable future.

seems to relate more the question of whether the RAF should exist as an independent force rather than the exisitance of the post of CAS. It might be better to include the above in a section on the main RAF page and shorten the entry in this page to focus on the future of the post of CAS.
