Nothing to do with said AEF pilot pictured!

Maybe my sense of humour isn't awake yet.
Morning jaj, indeed, just me warped sense of humour 're the concept that the great unwashed now, thanks to some miss-G@@gling by the Website author, think that the hired guns defending them on their budget US carriers are RAF VSOs. Well, they would do if they had any clue as to RAF badges of rank - or, dare I say it, even what the RAF is if it's the "great US unwashed" who see it! I do hope said VSO does not choke on his cornflakes (assuming he is eating breakfast at the time) if he ever gets to see what his photo has been linked with!

My side-dig re numbers was linked to that perennial trend for comments on PPRuNe about the number of, for example, Admiralls per ship we have in the RN (please note - deliberate misspelling used just to ensure consistency for poor TW50 !!!).

Re all the above, for those "not amused" or simply doubting my sanity (and, tbh, that's a fair call, Guv!), this is what 3 decades in the Mob does to one - tho a few years Contracting with BAE Systems afterwards didn't exactly help my mental welfare either!!!!

Anyway, twas just a bit of light-hearted musing in a time when such is fairly lacking in the world of aviation....... Cheers, H 'n' H
