Lets face it that if you really dug into RAF crews who fought in B of B you would find drunks, cheats, rapists, thieves etc etc. But 1.) why would you want to 2.) what would be its purpose.
I did see that programme with Kenneth More making a guest appearance when it was first shown.
It is nice to know he was not a nice man, affects not my opinion one jot. It leaves me thinking, TF he wasn't a nice man as given he had to go out and kill people would I want a really nice man to do it or a complete barsteward. I prefer the latter but accept post conflict he would need to be pensioned off and kept out of operational command, aside from using his experience to teach for the future.
