I enjoyed it and I was especially pleased with the inclusion of Lord Trenchard's Apprentice scheme - one of the two bedrocks of the early RAF.

As for the rest of the UK armed forces, there is a tradition of not showing any respect for any of the other services to their faces, specifically when the public are present. However it is only a tradition because we have such a great respect for the other services in the UK, and we are engaging in a topic known as "banter".
Join your local Armed Forces Veterans Breakfast Club. Our Welwyn-Hatfield Branch are having a "Wear Blue for the RAF" breakfast on this Sunday morning's regular meeting. We'll still have all the usual inter-service banter of course. One can expect nothing less.
