Centaurus and Slezy9 - maybe I could have written my earlier post better?

I was not RAAF-bashing. I have flown with a considerable number of ex-RAAF pilots, I've never had cause to doubt their competence and generally I've found them to be thoroughly nice people as well. I've certainly made some good friends amongst them.

I was trying to highlight (and generate sympathy for) the great angst amongst the volunteers at Point Cook who have for many years have selflessly devoted their time and energies maintaining and flying those aircraft. Their feelings are not exactly being assuaged by attitude of the designated 100 Squadron CO (or so I'm repeatedly told).

My comment about the Roulettes leader was simply to illustrate the jockeying that one would assume is now going on within the RAAF to get to fly the Pt Cook and Temora "treasures". There was NO other implication.
