One does wonder with this question “
How do you transform an institution like the Royal Air Force (RAF), steeped in history and awash with legends – both in terms of aircraft and those who flew them?”
Answer, bring in someone who has spent more time in their Service career serving in support of the Army!
I can guarantee that Andy Turner is as RAF as anyone else wearing the uniform. Just because a whole load of people have spent time outside the ‘core’ RAF doesn’t mean they’re any lesser a person. What is the ‘core’ anyway? A fast-jet jock? A multi pilot? Does that make them any better at understanding the needs? No, if anything Andy Turner is better placed because he’s seen it from other sides.
Actually, just to add, your implication is that any SH crew is disqualified from being ‘real’ RAF. Get over yourself and join the real Air Force. It’s far more Joint these days and SH crews are those doing some proper work so the implication that they’re lesser people is insulting.
