I decided to start this because I was hijacking the Hawker Henely thread and AFAIK we haven't had one on this subject for a while.
The POD is 11th November 1918 and I have deliberately called it Better British Aviation 1918-39 because it includes Naval Aviation, Civil Aviation and the British Aircraft Industry as well as the RAF.

- In the case of the RAF and FAA you can spend more money, but I would prefer the changes to be on things like improvements to airframes, engines, propellers, armament, radar and doctrine rather than increasing their size of the RAF and FAA.
- That is unless a plausible reason for HMG wanting to spend the money is provided along with a plausible reason for the British electorate to support it and a plausible source of the extra money can be given as well.
- As British Government spending on Civil Aviation 1919-34 was even more meagre than military and naval aviation you can spend several times more on that if desired.
- Changes to the company structure of the British Aircraft Industry are allowed.
- Changes to aviation in the British Empire and Commonwealth are also allowed if they are a result of the improvements in the UK.
