Does it bother anyone that The Times article
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/r...uvre-rpcmlxzdq
and indeed all the BBC reporting, refer only to 'bases' or 'airbases' without ever mentioning the word 'station'. i have had a go at the BBC Defence Correspondent today, reminding him that the RAF in the UK lives on 'stations', not on bases.
I also mentioned 'station commander' and people, aircraft and squadrons being 'stationed' wherever.
His replies have been deeply condescending - and eventually he said "
To most Station is where you catch a train"
Does anybody else care?
