the description of Tornado GR1 being in it's operational element at 250' day VFR by Wg Cdr Heeps was lightweight. How about, Day/Night IMC 200', VFR 100' Strike/Attack.
As with the criticism of Sunday night’s TV show, this is missing the point. The fact that about 15 minutes of Wg Cdr Heeps’s material made it to air on the Today programme means that it was pitched correctly for the audience. There were some nuggets in there which may stick in the mind of the ‘opinion-forming’ classes simply for having been broadcast, and if nothing else it’s exposure for the RAF among urbanites who see nothing of it. If it he had given dry technical stuff it would mostly have been binned.
